I think by now we have all learned with weather, it can be very unpredictable.
Yes, it is on its turning thingy, still.
It switched from drifting West to wandering NW which should soon change to North and then NNE.
We shall see soon where the last turn stops.
Great, we shut down the country for two days for a storm that will miss us completely and hit Puerto Rico
Because it's a male storm it is fu**ing about in the middle of the ocean when it should be somewhere else. Probably eyeing up a pretty young female storm nearby.
Fixed it for you.
I leave weather predictions to Punta Cana Mike.Thanks Jim
Franklin as a organized TS is going down and the wind shear right over our Island in it's path is 40+Knots, no way something will gain powers under such conditions.
But do not get fooled, stick to the NOAA arrival times and await exactly that at your home area.
It really does not mater that it is down to just 40mphr and may loose even more wind force, as the danger is by water, not by wind, and all that water is still out there, we just don't know where it will go and how concentrated or maybe more spread out once a center to move it together is missing.
At the moment, and since several hours, it is moving on 5-7mphr NWwards and on sat shots it is missing to be a powerful system moving things together around one center.
But such can change and the evening update may look very different.
I personally see it going down on powers, but that can look very different late evening, we have to wait to se the trend of changes happening over many hours, not just the one moment situation of one up date.
NOAA sticks to a TS to manage to survive as a TS a cross country walk.
We keep watching and at this moment we keep awaiting a TS with a huge water load over our each's home area.
As for the NOW present weather, since I came back home on the ranch from Higuey this afternoon, here at Vallegina it was and still is super calm, not a slightest bit of wind to feel, it is full cloudy and the same time very hot/humid. the rain we received been nothing to write about, a few short showers of just minutes eac, some strong with strong wind but then some minutes later all back down to calm and quiet.
the 2Km dirt road to enter to my house has only a few puddles, no real water on that road anywhere.
Sure I can imagine that the bad constructed/planned roads in Bavaro at their speacial sections like hoyo de friusa, friusa towards plaza bavaro, the road along el cortecito etc are "flooded", but such doe not happen due real strong rain fall, such always happens with any simple 20 minutes rainfall a hundred times per year, as those ingenieuros nowhere did leave the water any way to go to, just everything stupidly cemented and paved and not on any even level, lol.
Keep observing whats reported the next 24hrs, stay at home just in case and enjoy a nice home time with your ole house dragn or young neighbour lady, watch some netflix movies and enjoy some good drinks, just don't hang out far from home to not get surprised by what ever could come up surprisingly quick out of nowhere.
To me, looking on Sat coverage at this moment it looks fine, but that is not any rule to follow.
Better safe and comfy with good drinks/company/movie than sorry due poor common sense.
Cheers

Unfortunately, even 25mph wind is an issue for power lines. We're talking about a place where a drizzle and breeze knocks out power for 3 hours. Remember folks, the mob builds stuff to break.
Nooo, around the areas where we lived and live here no 25mphr wind would have been noticed as anything strong/bad and not have done harm to any power lines etc.
O.k.,
Now at my place, I have all my power lines under ground, so wind sure will not do any harm, lol.
Isn’t it going more south and over towards Haiti. I am trying to follow it on the Windy App.
yes, you are correct.
It is now shown more west.
Pay attention to the size of the wind field, those TS Force winds reach out quiet a distance to the east specially.
All the airports except Punta Cana are closing at 10 tonight and supposedly reopening at 6 am Wednesday. Expect delays at the minimum. Your flight may not be affected
Aeropuertos de RD reanudaron operaciones tras una suspensión
SANTO DOMIN GO.- Reanudaron operaciones a las 6:00 am seis aeropuertos de la República Dominicana que habían suspendido las mismas el martes en la noche debido al paso de la tormenta Franklin, informó el Gabinete de Turismo. Siguiendo recomendaciones del Instituto Nacional de Aviación Civil (IDAC

A simple Tropical Storm that far away will not bother the operations of a airport.
This actual Storm hides the danger of huge water amounts to come down over certain areas of the country, dangerous for mud slides, flooding, rivers going over the top etc, but at the far East at PUJ I do not think those waters could be enough to bother the airport operations, as lon as the streets are good for transfer vehicles to drive you there/pick you up there.
Some years ago a 1st of May is the only time I remember in my 30 years here, that the PUJ airport had t shut down due WATER, when it rained down due a Vaguada for many many hours straight down, flooding everything there.
But Tropical Storms so far never provoked that from such a distance.
Have a safe one.

PUJ stays open and operational without any closing hours due Franklin.
You’re right, I corrected it immediately but you were too fast for me!! 😂
