28 Aug 2023 / Bermuda & United States
At 500am EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Franklin was near latitude 27.2 North, longitude 70.8 West [and] moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). A gradual turn toward the north and north-northeast with a slightly faster forward speed is expected during the next couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher gusts. This makes Franklin a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some additional strengthening is forecast today, but gradual weakening is expected to begin by Tuesday afternoon.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km)…
…Swells generated by Franklin are beginning to affect Bermuda. These swells are expected to spread toward the east coast of the United States during the next couple of days, likely resulting in life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
