2 LLCs for Franklin

[jpigott]

if you look closely at the last few visible frames of the sat loop you can pick up one LLC just of the east coast of the Abacos, but there also appears to be a new spin up of the south coast of Grand Bahama Island. Anyone else see this or am i just going crazy

No, there's a convective flareup around the east end of Grand Bahama, but I don't see any separate circulation.

I believe that is the real center; but it is just NE of Abaco island. 13:01 pix show this. If Franklin is to escape to the NE he must do it quickly. As you notice the large ridge laying down over the NE states, with a frontal passage near Buffalo NY. This isn't a sharp trough by any means, as it will push to the south. I think Franklin is going to stall and the ridge will begin to press from the north. He needs to go NE within the next 12 - 24 hours to escape.

I'm glad that someone else has the same thoughts I do.
I'll be breathing a lot easier if the trough grabs it... soon.
I will not be confident of the trough taking it east after, say midnight, tonight.

Looks to me that Franklin is starting to get pulled NE. I say fish storm.

I don't see that just yet.

Last coordinates actually took him East a few miles. Could be the start or just a stall as the steering currents get themselves together and finally grab him. I am going with fish on this also.

[Rainband]

Fish here too.

Fish away from the US East Coast however Bermuda has to watch it closely.

Nope, the trough will miss him. I believe he will end up heading NW by next week. He is meandering like my kids pick up their toys, until I get the chancla out.. LOL

It looks like he's orginizing FAST it looks much better then 2 hours ago

the picture of him kinda resembles hurricane dennis when he was forming his eye in around the same area in 1999

They aint twins but theres a resemblence but franklin is quite a bit more compact and the strength is quite off

Hopefully the result isn't Franklin sitting off cape hattaras for a week
