 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE FRANK DISCUSSION NUMBER  29
 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       EP072016
 200 PM PDT THU JUL 28 2016
 
 Frank has been devoid of deep convection for more than 12 hours, and
 is now just a large swirl of low-level stratocumulus clouds. Since
 the cyclone continues to move into an environment of very dry
 mid-level air and near 22 deg C SSTs, redevelopment of organized
 deep convection is unlikely.  On this basis, Frank has been
 declared a remnant low.  The initial wind speed of 30 kt is based on
 an average of subjective T/CI numbers from TAFB and SAB. Given the
 very stable conditions ahead of the cyclone, the remnant low should
 continue to spin down and dissipate by 72 h.
 
 The initial motion estimate is 295/06 kt. The vertically shallow
 remnant low should move westward through 24 h, and then toward the
 west-southwest by weak easterly to northeasterly low-level tradewind
 flow. The NHC track forecast is similar to the previous advisory
 track and lies close to the TVCN consensus track
 model.
 
 This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on
 this system.  Additional information on the remnant low can be found
 in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under
 AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at
