Hurricane Frances continues to get closer to the East Coast of Florida as it moves WNW at a slower pace.A ridge to the north of Frances may not let the hurricane go more north and it will force it to move more west.The key will be at what point in latitud it will make that move more westward because the more north it makes the turn more west the less effects South Florida will get.But being a big hurricane in diameter almost all the Florida Penninsula for sure plenty of rain and strong winds will affect a big area.
About the intensity it has made many replacement cycles eyewalls and because of those episodes it has not becomed more stronger than what it is.For sure a landfall as a major hurricane is a given.Fluctuations will occur but overall no big weakening is expected.
Elsewhere:
A tropical depression has formed in the far eastern atlantic as it moves west.It has some banding and good outflow.Interests in the lesser antilles will have to follow this system during the next few days.
