9/9 – Trey Tonnessen’s “More Rainfall” Monday Night 10:00 PM Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

After strengthening this afternoon, Francine’s intensity appears to have leveled off for now. Around 3:00 PM Monday, microwave images indicated that the storm had a closed low-level eyewall and a relatively symmetric cloud pattern. However, an intrusion of dry air has caused the inner core convection to degrade. The Air Force and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft have been investigating Francine this evening and have found that the maximum winds have changed little from earlier
