Post-Tropical Cyclone Frank Discussion Number 31
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072022
200 PM PDT Tue Aug 02 2022
Frank has failed to produce organized deep convection since last
night, and the system has been reduced to a well-defined low-level
cloud swirl over the open waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Since
Frank no longer satisfies the criteria of a tropical cyclone, this
will be the final NHC advisory on now post-tropical Frank.
The cyclone is expected to gradually turn northward during the next
couple of days as it moves around the western periphery of a distant
low-level ridge. Although Frank is believed to be still producing
some 34-kt winds in its northeastern quadrant, weakening is expected
through midweek as the cyclone continues to spin down over cool
SSTs. The system is forecast to open into a trough and dissipate by
early Friday. For additional information on the post-tropical
cyclone please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02
KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php
