ZCZC MIATCDEP2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM FRANK DISCUSSION NUMBER 24 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP072016 800 AM PDT WED JUL 27 2016 Frank is quickly weakening today, with a shrinking area of deep convection near and northwest of the center. A blend of the TAFB/SAB Dvorak T/CI numbers gives an initial wind speed of 55 kt for this advisory. Steady weakening is expected due to the cyclone moving over progressively colder waters and into a more stable airmass. The official intensity forecast remains near the latest model consensus, IVCN, and Frank should degenerate into a remnant low by tomorrow afternoon. Microwave data indicate the storm continues moving 295/10 kt. Frank should turn westward and slow down as the cyclone becomes a weak and shallow remnant low steered by the low-level ridge. Models have shifted a little southward on this cycle, and the official forecast follows that trend.
