10am Advisory: Francine Decreases More; Still Monitoring a Few Other Features….

Francine is expected to become post-tropical as it moves out of Central MS and drifts north. There are no coastal watches/warnings in effect.

LOCATION…32.5N 90.1W
ABOUT 15 MI…25 KM NNE OF JACKSON MISSISSIPPI
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS…35 MPH…55 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT…N OR 360 DEGREES AT 14 MPH…22 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE…996 MB…29.42 INCHES

The main problems now will be the risk of isolated flooding and still that tornado threat.  Bill and I will have a detailed discussion about the threat for tornadoes for Alabama coming out soon!

What else is out there?

Watching several areas for possible development.

1.  We still have Tropical Depression #7.
2. West of that depressions are two waves, neither of which has a big chance of developing.
3. The area marked off the southeast US Coast is interesting.  The models are hinting at an area of low pressure forming along a front a few hundred miles off the coast.  Some development could occur so that is something to monitor especially early/mid next week.
