Tropical Storm Francine Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062024
400 AM CDT Tue Sep 10 2024
Francine has not become appreciably better organized overnight.
There is a large cluster of cold-topped convection located well to
the northeast of the center, but the central deep convection is
still not very strong. Some banding features appear to be
developing over the northeastern portion of the circulation. The
advisory intensity is held at 55 kt for now, in agreement with
earlier data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft, and a
subjective Dvorak Current Intensity number from TAFB. Objective
Dvorak intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS are a little lower. Air
Force and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft are scheduled to
investigate the storm in a few hours and should provide a good
estimate of Francine's intensity.
Center fixes from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft and ASCAT
data showed little motion a few hours ago, but recent satellite
imagery suggest a slow north-northwestward motion at around 340/4
kt. The general steering scenario for the next couple of days
remains about the same as in the previous advisory. Francine should
move mostly northward today along the western periphery of a mid
level high over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. By late tonight, a
shortwave trough over Texas is expected to cause a turn toward the
northeast with an increase in forward speed. This motion should
bring the center of the system to the Louisiana coast tomorrow
afternoon or evening. The model tracks are in fairly good agreement
on this scenario, although there is still some cross- and
along-track spread. The official track forecast in the 36- to
48-hour time frame has been nudged just a few tenths to the east of
the previous one, and lies between the ECMWF solution and the
multi-model consensus prediction.
The tropical cyclone should be over very warm waters before
landfall, although west-southwesterly vertical wind shear over the
system is likely to increase. The latter environmental influence
will probably limit Francine's strengthening. Nonetheless, the
SHIPS-RI Index shows a significant probability of at least a 25-kt
increase in maximum winds during the next 24 hours. The official
intensity forecast is now at the high end of the model guidance.
An experimental cone graphic that includes inland Hurricane and
Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings in the U.S. is now available on
the NHC website. Due to the time needed to compile the inland watch
and warning information, the experimental cone graphic will not be
available as quickly as the operational cone. Once it is available,
the experimental cone graphic can be found from a red weblink above
the operational cone graphic at
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?cone#contents. Users are
encouraged to take the experimental product survey found below the
experimental cone.
KEY MESSAGES:
1. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge for portions
of the Upper Texas and Louisiana coastlines where a Storm Surge
Warning is in effect. Residents in the warning area should follow
advice, including evacuation orders, given by local officials.
2. Damaging and life-threatening hurricane-force winds are expected
in portions of southern Louisiana Wednesday, where a Hurricane
Warning is in effect. Preparations to protect life and property
should be complete by tonight, since tropical storm conditions are
expected to begin within this area early Wednesday.
3. Francine is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the risk of
considerable flash flooding for much of Louisiana and Mississippi
through Thursday. Flash and urban flooding is probable across
portions of northeast Mexico and far southern Texas into early
Wednesday, and the Mid-South Wednesday night into Friday morning.

A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening
inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline,
during the next 36 hours in the indicated locations. A Storm Surge
Watch means there is a possibility of life-threatening inundation,
from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated
locations during the next 48 hours.
For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather
Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Francine was
located near latitude 24.4 North, longitude 96.2 West. Francine is
moving toward the north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A slow
north-northwest motion is expected through this morning,
followed by a turn to the northeast with an increase in forward
speed. On the forecast track, Francine is anticipated to be just
offshore of the coasts of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas
through today, and make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Francine will likely become a hurricane today, with
significant strengthening expected before it reaches the coast.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Francine can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO
header WTNT41 KNHC.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane
warning area on Wednesday. Hurricane conditions are possible in the
hurricane watch area on Wednesday, with tropical storm conditions
expected by Wednesday morning within the warning areas.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area in Mexico
and south Texas through this afternoon. Tropical storm conditions
are possible within the watch area along the northeastern coast
of Mexico for the next several hours. Tropical storm conditions
are also possible along portions of the Texas coast in the watch
area today and tonight, and are possible in the watch area in
eastern Louisiana on Wednesday.
RAINFALL: Francine is expected to bring storm total rainfall of 4 to
8 inches, with local amounts to 12 inches across much of Louisiana
and Mississippi through Friday morning. 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.
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Cameron, LA to Port Fourchon, LA...5-10 ft
Vermilion Bay...5-10 ft
Port Fourchon, LA to Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA...4-7 ft
High Island, TX to Cameron, LA...3-5 ft
Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA to MS/AL Border...2-4 ft
Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas...2-4 ft
Mouth of the Rio Grande, TX to High Island, TX...1-3 ft
Galveston Bay...1-3 ft
MS/AL Border to AL/FL Border...1-3 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be
accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding
depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and
can vary greatly over short distances. Storm surge is not expected
to pose a threat to the risk reduction system levees. However,
there may be some overtopping of local levees. For information
specific to your area, please see products issued by your local
National Weather Service forecast office.
Minor coastal flooding is possible along the coast of Mexico in
areas of onshore winds.
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge
inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak
Storm Surge Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?peakSurge.
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible Wednesday morning through
Wednesday night over near-coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.
SURF: Swells generated by Francine are affecting portions of the
coast of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. These swells are
expected to spread across the northwestern and northern Gulf of
Mexico coastline during the next day or so. These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
