Franklin forecast #2: Here fishy fishy

EXPERIMENTAL HURRICANE FORECAST
TROPICAL STORM FRANKLIN
NJN WEATHER CENTER
610 PM SAT JULY 23RD 2005

Tropical Storm Franklin continues to pull away from the coast of Florida and the US this afternoon, after original thinking back on Thursday was that he may make a loop and head towards Florida.

Franklin is becoming better organized and should become a hurricane before the end of the day. Max winds are at 75 mph, and he has nice warm water to travel through as he continues meandering NEward.

Franklin is expected to be shot out to sea even further by an approaching trough. This is good for the US but not for Bermuda. Bermudans I'm sure are praying this thing does not turn into Fabian.

My official forecast has Franklin meandering out in the Atlantic and making a direct hit on Bermuda in about 3 days as a Category 2 possibly Category 3. Then continuing into the open Atlantic before dying out.

Here is my experimental 5 day forecast on Franklin:
Tonight: Becoming a hurricane, continuing to move away from Florida. Max Winds: 80 mph
Sunday:Gaining strength and several 100 miles East of the Carolina's.. Max Winds: 90 mph
Monday:Approaching Bermuda, accelerating as the trough influences. Max Winds: 100 mph
Tuesday: Passing over Bermuda. Max Winds: 110 mph
Wednesday: Moving well into the open Atlantic. max Winds: 75 mph and becoming extratropical
