The powerful hurricane could impact portions of Bermuda this week, while still sending some impacts to the East Coast.

00:00 We also continue to track Hurricane Franklin,
00:03 which was a category four hurricane.
00:05 It has weakened a little bit,
00:06 but still a powerful hurricane
00:08 passing well to the east of Bermuda.
00:10 Now this is gonna then turn to the northeast.
00:12 There will be some impacts in Bermuda,
00:14 but really nothing that's gonna cause too many problems here
00:17 over the next 24 hours.
00:18 Now it had been in a perfect location for development,
00:21 this little pocket where we didn't have anything
00:24 in the way of wind shear,
00:25 but as I play this water vapor out now,
00:27 what's happening is this deepening trough
00:30 across the central part of the United States.
00:32 This is now creating wind shear.
00:34 Wind's coming in out of the west southwest,
00:36 which will continue to weaken Franklin
00:38 as we go over the next several hours or so.
00:41 Nonetheless, it will be a major hurricane
00:44 through this afternoon, then weaken.
00:46 It will stay out to sea,
00:47 maybe some impacts in Bermuda, not much,
00:50 but it will also bypass Atlantic Canada.
00:53 There will be some rough surf
00:54 and maybe some rip currents along the eastern seaboard,
00:56 but for the most part, Franklin passes
00:59 in between the goal posts, as we call it,
01:01 between the United States and Bermuda.
