1. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY

NONE

2. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY

WITH THE CENTRE OF FRANKLIN JUST OFF THE PERIPHERY OF THE GRAND
BANKS SOME MARGINAL GALES ARE STILL POSSIBLE FOR EXTREME EASTERN 
SECTIONS OF THE GRAND BANKS OVER THE NEXT 2 OR 3 HOURS. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS KEPT AT BARELY 35 KNOTS FOR THE TIME BEING..
AGAIN MOSTLY AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE..BUT WINDS AROUND
FRANKLIN ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THIS EVENING AS IT MOVES OUT
OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC. FRANKLIN IS STILL EXPECTED TO BECOME 
ABSORBED BY A DEEP NORTH ATLANTIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EARLY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON..IF NOT SOONER. AS THE REMNANTS OF FRANKLIN
BECOME ABSORBED GALES ARE LIKELY TO REDEVELOP BUT THIS WILL
MOSTLY BE DUE TO THE DEEP NORTH ATLANTIC LOW.

THE NEXT STATEMENT ISSUED AT 9:30 NDT WILL..BARRING UNFORESEEN
CIRCUMSTANCES..BE THE LAST STATEMENT ON FRANKLIN.

END LAFORTUNE
