Tropical Update: 7 Feb

:rarrow: 1) TC Frank (10S). Located at 06/2100Z at 23.8S 75.9E (1040nm ESE of Mauritius) and moving ESE at 20mph. Winds are 50mph. Frank has become extratropical as the deep convection associated with Frank has dissipated with a high easterly shear. Frank is now associated with a baroclinic frontal boundary and is forecast to continue weakening. The JTWC has issued their final warning on Frank unless regeneration occurs. Latest Dvorak estimates are noted as extratropical.

:rarrow: 2) Invest (96P). Located at 07/1200Z just NE of Queesland, Australia. The JTWC has not began issuing guidance on this system. Regardless, NRL Monterey has data available for 96P. The Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre out of Brisbane, QLD, Australia, states that computer models show 96P deepening into a tropical cyclone over the NW Coral Sea after Tuesday. This is something we'll continue monitoring. Latest Dvorak estimates are unavailable as the responsibile agencies have yet to begin issuing T# numbers.
