000 WTPZ42 KNHC 021438 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Frank Discussion Number 30 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072022 800 AM PDT Tue Aug 02 2022 Organized deep convection associated with Frank ceased overnight, and the tropical storm should become post-tropical very soon. The weakening cyclone is moving northwest near 10 kt, and should gradually bend toward the north over the next 36 h, then north-northeast by Thursday, steered primarily by the low-level flow. The latest TAFB Dvorak Current Intensity estimate is 35 kt, so the initial intensity is set at that value. Continued weakening will occur over the next few days while Frank gradually spins down over cold water with little or no convection to sustain it. Dissipation is forecast by nearly all of the dynamical models near or just after 60 h. No changes of note were made to the NHC track or intensity forecasts, both of which are near the model consensus aids.
