Discussion:

Himawari-9 visible satellite image (Weathernerds). The circulation is the swirl of low clouds northeast of Taiwan.

Francisco definitely still has a closed circulation. Unfortunately for Francisco, it is fully exposed and quickly moving away from the nearest convection. Shortly after the previous advisory, the system completely decoupled, and the nearest convection is extremely distant from the circulation center along the periphery of the monsoon gyre. The exposed circulation is not generating any significant convection, but scatterometer data suggests it is still producing winds of about 35 kts, so that is the intensity.

Now that it has completely decoupled, Francisco’s circulation should quickly spin down during the next day or so, and its forward speed should also slow as it becomes incorporated into the monsoon gyre. Francisco is expected to degenerate into a remnant low later today and dissipate tomorrow.
