Next tropical depression forms (unofficially)
A low level circulation is now apparent with this disturbance as well as some deep convection near the center of circulation. Because of this we believe that this tropical disturbance has become the next tropical depression. Deep convection is also noted on the eastern side of the circulation.
As of 9 am edt / ast Franklin was centered 27.1 N / 59.5 W or roughly 500 miles se of Bermuda. It is moving nw at about 15 mph. Winds estimated at 25 mph. Pressure estimated at 1012 mb.
Forecasts take this low northwest and recurve it to the east of Bermuda. Because forecast models usually don't handle weak lows well, interests in Bermuda should follow the progress of the low.
