Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
200 PM EDT Thu Sep 12 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Seven, located over the central Atlantic Ocean. The
National Hurricane Center has issued its final advisory on Tropical
Depression Francine, located inland over Mississippi. The next
advisory will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 2100
UTC.
East of the Leeward Islands (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization in
association with a small area of low pressure located a few hundred
miles east of the Leeward Islands. However, the proximity of dry
air near the system could limit additional development over the next
couple of days. Environmental conditions are expected to become even
less conducive over the weekend while the system moves slowly
west-northwestward. Regardless of development, this system could
produce locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds across the northern
Leeward Islands on Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
Offshore the Southeastern U.S.:
A non-tropical area of low pressure could form along a residual
frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S.
coastline this weekend. Thereafter, some subtropical or tropical
development is possible during the early part of next week while the
system drifts to the north or northwest.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Depression Francine Discussion Number 16...Corrected
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062024
1000 AM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024
Corrected Frances to Francine in the first paragraph
Francine has continued to weaken this morning as the center moves
across central Mississippi. Surface observations indicate that the
central pressure has risen to near 996 mb, with winds of 25-30 kt
observed about 80 n mi east and northeast of the center. Based on
these data, the initial intensity is decreased to 30 kt. The
surface observations and satellite imagery also suggest that
Francine is merging with a frontal zone, and it is expected to
become a post-tropical low later today or tonight. It should be
noted that while the forecast shows the surface cyclone dissipating
by 48 h, the remnants of the circulation above the surface will
persist beyond that time and continue the heavy rainfall threat.
The initial motion is now 360/12. A continued northward to
north-northwestward motion with a decrease in forward speed is
expected before dissipation, bringing Francine or its remnants
across northern Mississippi into northeastern Arkansas.
This is the last Tropical Cyclone Discussion issued by the
National Hurricane Center on this system. Future information on
this system can be found in discussions issued by the Weather
Prediction Center beginning at 400 PM CDT, under AWIPS header
TCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KWNH, and on the web at
www.hurricanes.gov.
Rainfall forecasts for the United States can always be found at

and outlooks of flash flood risks can be found at
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/excessive_rainfall_outlook_ero.php
KEY MESSAGES:
1. Elevated water levels and high surf along portions of the
Louisiana and Mississippi coasts should subside today. Until this
occurs, residents in the affected area should continue to follow
advice given by local officials.
2. Francine will continue to bring heavy rainfall and the risk of
flash and urban flooding, along with river flooding, across portions
of the Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley and the Southeast.
Considerable flash and urban flooding is possible through tonight
over portions of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, expanding into
Georgia and middle Tennessee Friday.

Tropical Depression Seven Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072024
Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
1100 AM AST Thu Sep 12 2024
Tropical Depression Seven looks more organized on satellite imagery
this morning, with a compact circulation and a small curved band
with some deep convection. Subjective and objective Dvorak numbers
indicate the system is close to becoming a tropical storm. However,
given the relatively small size of ongoing convection near the
center, the initial intensity was conservatively held at 30 knots,
or at the lower end of the estimates.
The cyclone continues on a west-northwestward heading, and the
general motion is expected to continue over the next 2-3 days. The
forward speed should gradually slow as the subtropical ridge to the
north of the system weakens. Track guidance diverges considerably
early next week, related to uncertainties with an amplifying trough
over the north-central Atlantic Ocean and another ridge centered
northeast of the Leeward Islands. This track forecast stays close
to the global model consensus and places less weight on the
regional hurricane models which depict a considerably weaker
and less organized system. This produces a track forecast that is
slightly faster and to the left of the previous forecast.
While environmental conditions are somewhat favorable for gradual
strengthening, with low-moderate vertical wind shear and
marginally warm SSTs, intensity guidance came in lower for this
cycle. We show the system becoming a tropical storm in the next
day, followed by the intensity only slowly increasing to 45 knots in
the next five days. However, there is potential for greater
strengthening beyond what is shown early next week as the cyclone
will be in an environment characterized by lower shear, warmer SSTs
around 28C, slightly more instability, but plentiful dry air aloft.
The new forecast is a little lower than the previous one, but
above the latest model consensus.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Francine was located near latitude 32.5 North, longitude 90.1 West.
The depression is moving toward the north near 14 mph (22 km/h),
and this general motion is expected to continue with a decrease in
forward speed through Friday. On the forecast track, the center of
Francine will move over central and northern portions of
Mississippi this afternoon and tonight and move into northeastern
Arkansas by Friday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast, and Francine is expected to become a
post-tropical cyclone later today or tonight.
The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations
from the Jackson area is 996 mb (29.42 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Francine can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO header WTNT41 KNHC.
WIND: Wind gusts to tropical-storm force are possible for the next
few hours over portions of central Mississippi and western Alabama.
RAINFALL: Francine is expected to bring storm total rainfall of 4 to
8 inches across portions of Mississippi, eastern Arkansas,
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. Localized
amounts of 12 inches are possible over portions of Alabama, the
Florida Panhandle, and Georgia. This rainfall could lead to
considerable flash and urban flooding.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Francine, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total
Rainfall Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ero. For a list of
rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated this storm, see
the companion storm summary at WBCSCCNS1 with the WMO header ACUS41
KWBC or at the following link:
www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html.
STORM SURGE: Water levels remain elevated along the Gulf coast
between eastern Louisiana and Alabama but will recede through this
afternoon.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible today across the Florida
Panhandle, southern and central Alabama, and southwest Georgia.
SURF: Swells generated by Francine should subside along the
northern Gulf coast through today. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Thu Sep 12 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Francine, located inland over south-central Mississippi,
and on Tropical Depression Seven, located over the eastern Atlantic
Ocean.
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
A weak area of low pressure located several hundred miles east of
the Leeward Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm
activity. Development of this system is not expected while it moves
westward at around 10 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.
East of the Leeward Islands (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms have become a bit more concentrated in
association with a small area of low pressure located a few hundred
miles east of the Leeward Islands. However, the proximity of dry
air near the system is expected to limit additional development
over the next couple of days. Environmental conditions are expected
to become even less conducive over the weekend while the system
moves slowly west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Offshore the Southeastern U.S.:
In a few days, a non-tropical area of low pressure could form along
a residual frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern
U.S. coastline. Thereafter, some subtropical or tropical development
is possible during the early part of next week while the system
drifts to the north or northwest.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
