How strong will Eta II get?

[Ryxn]

Eta is forecast to regenerate in the west Caribbean at the end of the week. How strong do you think she will get? (I am calling it a she as it sounds like a female name)

I will guess Category 4 with 140 mph winds like Michelle of 2001.

There's a chance it gets stuck in the Caribbean for longer and moves slow. If this occurs and the storm is not affected by shear, a high-end Category 4 or even low-end Category 5 is possible.

Also keep in mind that it's possible "Eta II" will be Theta.

Let's discuss.

I am going conservative...it's a guess after all...warm water, lower shear...Category 1?...very hard to say, not knowing what will be left to reorganize, but with the NHC depicting a Tropical Storm, Category 1 is possible I would imagine...

I think it's way too early to tell. With how slow it's moving right now, there may not be anything left of it to even reform once it gets back over water. But if it does there's enough time for it to bomb out again if the conditions are right.
