Tuesday 7/26/2022 - TD7e becomes Tropical Storm Frank in the Eastern Pacific. As of 5pEDT located about 500miles(805km) S of Manzanillo, Mexico. Winds 40mph(65km/h), moving W 12mph(19km/h), pressure 1004mb.
Out to sea to the West to NW. Wind shear hurting the system, blowing storms off to the West of the low level center. Will struggle.
Wed 27July 11pEDT: Estimated winds 50mph(85km/h), moving W 12mph(19km/h), pressure 1000mb. Wind shear still hampering development, expected to ease soon though and strengthen as heads out to sea.
NHC says looks like will be just close enough to newly formed but tiny TS Georgette to interact but overall little impact on Frank. Some further detail of that interaction from one of the NHC forecasters: https://twitter.com/pppapin/status/1552459213321998336
Sun 31July 5pEDT: Estimated winds 80mph(130km/h), moving NW 12mph(19km/h), pressure 983mb. Peaked at 90mph the other day.
Frank is now forecast to keep moving NW, and eventually North as looses tropical characteristics, dissipating well off the CA coast but closer then most storms get. Looks like, although not necessarily directly related, it may help pull some moisture up into Western CA Tuesday (very scattered small/lite amounts perhaps, along with the monsoonal flow).
Tue 2Aug 5pEDT: Estimated winds 40mph(65km/h), moving NW 12mph(19km/h), pressure 1005mb. Looses tropical characteristics, now a post-tropical system and no more advisories will be issued by NHC. An archive: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2022/FRANK.shtml?
