Emerging over the Sea of Japan early on August 7, the system weakened to a tropical depression. The JTWC estimated Francisco to have remained a tropical storm for 12 more hours before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone; however, the JMA maintained the system as a tropical cyclone until the following day as it turned east. The storm's remnants later impacted Hokkaido on August 8–9 before continuing across the open Pacific. The remnants of Francisco dissipated on August 11, off the east coast of Japan.
