Re: Frances Weakens a Bit

There is virtually no outflow in the west or southwest portions of the system, and the upper shear is attacking successfully the NW portion too! Outflow from the NE and SE seems good. the shear is continuing through the current time and it looks as if it is present over the Florida peninsula which is NW and in the current direction of the storm...It will take slow forward motion, warm water and no shear to regenerate. I don't think it will ever be as big as it was, the weather on the west side is dissapating. But the central core could support some intensification if the shear lessens
