Hurricane Franklin Update



This is expected to become a major hurricane soon and pass to the North and West of Bermuda about mid-week. People in Bermuda still need to monitor this since it is a close shave, and see what the impacts will be. They are really good about getting people into shelters when there is a danger there. Ever since I saw them ride out a major hurricane in the past, I don't really worry about people there. I only wish that mentality would catch on more in the mainland United States. We are letting a little island where people go for vacation to put us to shame in hurricane safety. That can change. If the right people are willing to change it in the future.

--------------------

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.


Interests in Bermuda should monitor the progress of this system.



DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

----------------------

At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Franklin was 

located near latitude 25.9 North, longitude 70.0 West. Franklin is 

moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). This motion 

will continue through tonight, followed by a northward and 

north-northeastward motion into the early part of the week.


Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher

Hurricane Franklin Discussion Number  29

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL082023

500 PM AST Sun Aug 27 2023


Visible and infrared satellite imagery has improved slightly since 

this morning, with a tight inner core developing around the center. 

There have been hints of an eye developing in infrared and visible 

images throughout the day, but the eye remains cloud filled. 

Franklin is still dealing with a little bit of drier mid-level dry 

air trying to wrap into the eastern side. Subjective and objective 

Dvorak estimates have remained steady throughout the day today. With 

these estimates combined with the lower surface pressure reported by 

the aircraft, the initial intensity remains at 85 kt this advisory. 

The Air Force Hurricane Hunters will be investigating the system 

later this evening.


Environmental conditions are fairly favorable for the next few days, 

with very warm sea surface temperatures and vertical wind shear 

forecast to decrease. Steady to rapid strengthening is forecast, and 

Franklin could become a major hurricane on Monday. In about 3 to 4 

days, weakening is forecast as Franklin encounters increased shear 

and moves over cooler SSTs. The wind field of Franklin is forecast 

to increase in size as it moves into the mid-latitudes.


Franklin is moving northwestward at 8 kt, around a broad 

high-pressure ridge to the east of Franklin. This ridge will steer 

the system more north-northwestward and northward over the next 

couple of days. In the longer range of the forecast period, a deep 

trough is expected to move off the U.S. east coast, and most of the 

guidance has Franklin becoming captured in the southwesterly flow, 

with an increase in forward motion to the northeast. The official 

NHC forecast track lies near the model consensus aids, with only 

slight adjustments to the previous advisory. The NHC forecast track 

still has the core of Franklin passing west and north of Bermuda, 

but interests there should continue to monitor the latest NHC 

forecasts. By day 5, Franklin may begin to interact with the upper 

trough and begin an extratropical transition, although that is not 

explicitly forecast.
