TENACIOUS FRANKLIN STILL HAS A SMALL AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION NEAR
THE CENTER AND THE CLOUD PATTERN REMAINS WELL ORGANIZED. HOWEVER...
THE OVERALL CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO WEAKEN. INITIAL INTENSITY IS 45
KNOTS AND FRANKLIN IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AT 19 KNOTS...
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE WESTERLIES. THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE OVER INCREASINGLY COOLER WATERS AND BECOME EXTRATROPICAL IN
ABOUT 12 HOURS...AND WILL LIKELY BE ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL SYSTEM
THEREAFTER.

Adios !!!!!!!!RIP.

FINALLY!!!!

Franklin, And don't let it hit you on the way out! See ya in 2011!

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

It still has alot of deep convection near its core. I seen them hold on a little longer before with worst.

[Andrew92]

It still has alot of deep convection near its core. I seen them hold on a little longer before with worst.

That alone doesn't necessarily mean it's tropical. The core is colder now; hence, it is no longer tropical.

[Derek Ortt]

Here is an advisory from the Canadian Hurricane Center (not sure if they have official responsibility for the N Atl or not, they do once a storm gets to canada)

WOCN31 CWHX 291800
TROPICAL STORM FRANKLIN INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE
CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 3.00 PM ADT
FRIDAY 29 JULY 2005.

THE NEXT STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY 9.00 PM ADT

...FRANKLIN NOW MOVING SOUTH OF SABLE ISLAND...

1. CURRENT POSITION, STRENGTH, CENTRAL PRESSURE AND MOTION

AT 3.00 PM ADT... TROPICAL STORM FRANKLIN WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 42.0 N AND LONGITUDE 60.4 W... ABOUT 115 NAUTICAL MILES
OR 215 KM SOUTH OF SABLE ISLAND. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 50 KNOTS... 93 KM/H... AND CENTRAL PRESSURE
AT 997 MB. FRANKLIN IS MOVING EAST NORTHEAST AT 22 KNOTS... 43
KM/H.

JUL 31 3.00 AM 48.0N 44.0W 1012 25 46 POST-TROPICAL

3. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY

MOISTURE FROM FRANKLIN WILL AFFECT THE AVALON PENINSULA THIS EVENING
AND CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY MORNING. 15 TO 25 MM OF RAIN ARE
FORECAST WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS AS HIGH AS 50 MM POSSIBLE IN EMBEDDED
THUNDERSHOWERS.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY

STRONG TO GALE FORCE NORTHEASTERLIES WILL OCCUR OVER THE EXTREME
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MARITIMES MARINE DISTRICT. STORM FORCE WINDS
MAY OCCUR OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE EAST SCOTIAN SLOPE.
STORM FORCE SOUTHWESTERLIES ARE FORECAST OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
LAURENTIAN FAN. GALES WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE GRAND BANKS AS FRANKLIN
WEAKENS ON SATURDAY.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS

FRANKLIN STILL LOOKS QUITE TROPICAL ON SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH A
SMALL AREA OF DEEP CONVECTION NEAR ITS CENTRE. QUICKSCAT WINDS
SHOW A MAXIMUM OF 50 KNOTS TO THE SOUTH OF THE CENTRE SO WE KEEP
THAT AS OUR INITIAL INTENSITY. THE CENTRE OF FRANKLIN HAS NOW ENTERED
CANADIAN MARINE AREAS.

B. PROGNOSTIC

NUMERICAL MODELS NOW SHOW THAT THE BEGINNING OF EXTRATROPICAL
TRANSITION FOR FRANKLIN IS IMMINENT. BECAUSE OF THIS WE HAVE
MOVED UP OUR FORECAST OF FRANKLIN BECOMING POST TROPICAL TO
SATURDAY MORNING. THE SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO ACCELERATE AND SHOULD
MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE GRAND BANKS ON SATURDAY.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER

GEM REGIONAL QPF SHOWS TWO DISTINCT BANDS OF PRECIPITATION OVER
NEWFOUNDLAND AT 12Z SATURDAY. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOISTURE FROM
FRANKLIN WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE AVALON.

D. MARINE WEATHER

MOST OF THE HIGHEST WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF THE STORM AS IT MOVES RAPIDLY EASTWARD. HOWEVER BUOY 44137
WHICH IS NORTH OF THE STORM TRACK NOW INDICATES SEAS GREATER THAN 4M.

I'll have to remember that link....I even like to track the extratropical remnants as long as I can! I know, I'm crazy. And it's easier if I can remember it than trying to find it via the OPC website.

Still, Frankie is good as gone pretty much.

Thanks for the links, everyone.

Yeah, same here. I can do it from HPC advisories when it's over the CONUS, but over the ocean it's a little harder. If I recall, the high seas forecasts don't always give an exact latitude and longitude.

Canadians will be helpful for a little while. Thanks, Derek... forgot about them.

Just wondering... Why are the Canadians stating 50 kts, when the last NHC advisory was 35 kts?

I was wondering that myself, actually.

[Swimdude]

I smell a funeral coming on...

[HurricaneJoe22]

NHC probably is saying goodbye to this thing so they can take a break from writing advisories for maybe a day or two....lord knows they need the rest...nevertheless, they do get paid well I'm sure

A. ANALYSIS

THE HIGH LEVEL CLOUD HAVE MOVED AHEAD OF THE STORM CENTER.
LOW LEVEL CLOUD AROUND THE STORM INDICATES CYCLONIC CIRCULATION

So the Canada hurricane center is like the same as Japan has over the western pacific. Interesting...

So if the Canada hurricane center is offical in this area. That means they down graded it at 9pm est instead of the nhc 5pm. So who knows.
