Notes: Forecast cone represents a range of possible locations and does not equal the size of the storm. Damaging winds may extend outside of the forecast cone. The NHC updates its forecast cone every 3 or 6 hours, depending on the threat of a storm. The best track path is updated less frequently.
Francine is the third named storm to hit the mainland US this year. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season got off to a quick start, but had stalled in recent weeks before Francine. It has now produced six storms, four of which became hurricanes.
