Issued at 1000 AM CDT Wed Jul 27 2022 536 WTPZ42 KNHC 271452 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Frank Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072022 1000 AM CDT Wed Jul 27 2022 Frank continues to feel the effects of about 20 kt of northeasterly vertical wind shear, with the low-level center remaining just northeast of the current convective burst. Various subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates are in the 35-40 kt range, and these have changed little since the last advisory. Based on this, the initial intensity remains 35 kt. The global models suggest that the current shear should ease over the next 12-24 h and allow Frank to gradually strengthen. Between 24-72 h, the shear is forecast to become light while the cyclone is over 28-29C sea surface temperatures, and this environment could allow for steady, and possible rapid, intensification. The forecast peak intensity of 75 kt is unchanged from the previous forecast due to uncertainty as to whether Frank will have a good enough structure to rapidly intensify. However, this is in the middle of the intensity guidance and could be conservative. After 72 h, Frank should move over decreasing sea surface temperatures, and this should cause weakening. Frank is wobbling between a westward and west-northwestward motion with the current motion of 285/9. A subtropical ridge to the north of the cyclone should continue to steer Frank generally westward for the next 36 h or so, followed by a west-northwestward motion from 36-72 h. After that time, the cyclone is expected to moved more northwestward toward a break in the ridge caused by by a mid- to upper-level trough developing over the Pacific west of California. The new official forecast rack is similar to the previous track through 60 h, and then is nudged a little to the north of the previous forecast in response to a northward shift of the guidance. The new forecast is close to or a little south of the various consensus models. It should be noted that Frank and the newly-formed Tropical Depression Eight-E are likely to come close enough to one another to interact. The global models suggest that Frank will be the larger and dominant system during this interaction, and that the depression will have only minor impacts on the track and intensity of Frank.

A Madison County farm grows and sells its own and other locally grown fruits and vegetables, but the heat and drought are slowing produce growth and narrowing selection. Green beans and corn were scarce, for example. In addition, the cost of seeds, fuel and fertilizer was higher this year. The farm was actively seeking more produce to sell to have a better selection for its customers. WBBJ-TV ABC 7 (Tenn.), July 22, 2022

Tonkawa in Kay County has not received measurable rain in nearly 60 days. The extreme heat was drying out the crops, and wheat, grass and alfalfa production was halved. Hay prices were double. More and more cattle were being sold to market. Alfalfa was short and was not growing. Farmers hoped others would join them in praying for rain. KOKH FOX 25 (Oklahoma City, Okla.), July 22, 2022

Crop production in the Coastal Bend is yielding from 25% to 50% less than normal. The Nueces County Texas A&M Extension agent stated that this is considered a disaster. The area has had numerous 100-degree days and months on end without rain, leaving some farmers and ranchers relying heavily on crop insurance. The grass is short, hay is in short supply and many beef cattle have been liquidated. KIII-TV (Corpus Christi, Texas), July 23, 2022

A dairy farmer with a nearly dry well was aided by the Auburn Fire Department which allowed him to fill his tanks at the station. Due to drought, the water table and head pressure of his dug well had fallen to low to provide water for his cows. Since the start of 2021, thirty-two dry wells have been reported, but none of the dry wells were in Androscoggin County. Lewiston Sun Journal (Maine), July 26, 2022

Many crops in Arkansas needed water at the same time. Corn is in the reproductive stage; rice fields need to be flooded; and cotton and soybeans need irrigation, but there is only so much water and so much area that can be irrigated at a time. The upper 75% of the Delta has not received measurable rain since May 25 to June 4. In a normal season, ten days might be needed to get the initial flooding going in a rice field. The dry conditions extend that time to 14 to 21 days this year to get the field flooded. Soybeans need water, but irrigating small plants can drown them as they cannot withstand flooding, but if a farmer did take the chance and irrigate, some ungerminated seeds would have a chance to grow. Irrigation pumps run on diesel, which is expensive at the present and even double what they were in 2021. Comparison to the 1980 drought: “I hear guys talking about 1980,” according to extension soybean agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. 1980 had 15 straight, 100-degree-plus days at Little Rock — 10 of which were at or above 105 degrees — and 42 100-degree days for the year. Stuttgart Daily Leader (Ark.), July 15, 2022

The lack of rain in mid-Missouri means that grass is growing less, so fewer homeowners want their lawns mowed. Lawn care companies that might have mowed nearly 200 yards per week might be mowing less than 75 yards. When fewer lawns need mowing, they do landscaping and other odd jobs to keep busy. ABC 17 News (Columbia, Mo.), July 22, 2022

New Jersey residents and businesses were asked to conserve water because rainfall has been below normal, and reservoirs were dropping rapidly in the past month. While most reservoirs were at or near normal for this point in the summer, some were much lower, such as the Oradell Reservoir system, which fell from full in mid-June to just over 70% in mid-July. The North Jersey District Supply Water Commission, which operates the Wanaque Reservoir, observed water levels fall from nearly full in June to just over 80% in July. The Round Valley-Spruce Run reservoirs in western New Jersey fell below 70%, compared to about 90% full typically at this time of year. NorthJersey.com (Hackensack, New Jersey), July 26, 2022

Drought has nearly dried up Lake Wilson, which has been dropping all summer, was nearly six feet low. Hundreds of fish have perished, and city workers will take care of the dead fish. Most of Wilson’s water comes from Wiggins Mill, which is fed by Buckhorn Reservoir via Contentnea Creek. The city posted, "The drought has affected the lake level but not in a serious way. Buckhorn is only 1.5 feet below normal levels. However, if the drought continues, the city could be forced to restrict lake use." WRAL-TV CBS 5 Raleigh (N.C.), July 26, 2022

The remains of a third person were discovered in Lake Mead on July 25, for the third body in three months as drought continues to take the water level lower. Two other sets of human remains were found in early May. USA Today (McLean, Va.), July 26, 2022
