DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Franklin was located near latitude 20.2 North, longitude 96.1 West. Franklin is moving toward the west near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue during the next day or so. On the forecast track, the center of Franklin is anticipated to cross the coast of the Mexican state of Veracruz in the next several hours. Data from an Air Force reconnaissance plane indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely before landfall, but the hurricane should weaken rapidly as it moves farther inland. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). La Vigueta, Veracruz recently reported a wind gust of 45 mph (72 km/h). The minimum central pressure recently estimated by an Air Force plane was 985 mb (29.09 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches are possible across the Mexican states of Tabasco, northern Veracruz, northern Puebla, Tlaxacala, Hidalgo, Queretar and eastern San Luis Potosi in eastern Mexico. These rains will be capable of producing life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within the Hurricane Warning area in the next few hours. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Tropical storm conditions are expected across portions of the Tropical Storm Warning area along the southern shore of the Bay of Campeche through tonight and early Thursday. Hurricane conditions are possible within the Hurricane Watch area in the next several hours. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the Tropical Storm Warning area in eastern Mexico in the next several hours. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast near and to the north of where the center makes landfall in the Hurricane Warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 100 AM CDT. Next complete advisory at 400 AM CDT. $$ Forecaster Avila |
