FRANKLIN HAS SHIFTED SOUTH!!!!!

[Jim Cantore]

Check the floater this MIGHT be bad news

[Brent]

We have enough threads on Franklin already... and no it's likely going to die a painful death(it already is) and not bother the U.S. It's being ripped to pieces.

[Jim Cantore]

If it does loop I think it wont be much of anything or might even die before it does anything

if it loops franklin will have a race agenist time because there is no way for it to get ANY stronger

just a minor pest but areas in florida cant take any rain now so lets hope this isn't a looping process

kyle looked dead a number of times

[Jim Cantore]

Kyle was the pest of pests

[Stormcenter]

Kyle was the pest of pests

With a vigorous circulation like that I don't think Franklin is dead just yet. By the way why does the NHC think Franklin has stalled?

I don't think this thing wants to go away. I know I will be watching it. Although a threat to the Southeast is not likely at this point I still think it might make a bit of a loop.

[gkrangers]

Because the NHC doesn't like saying a storm has taken a 180 based on only a few hours...they are a model of consistency.

They are also anticipating the NE movement to resume, so in their forecast, the S movement really doesn't matter.

Sir Franklin, the loopy knight.

I remember several years ago, in the late season; a Tropical Storm that moved back toward Florida and I think even came SW to the coast.
It had little or no convection but was still classified as a TS.

I can't remember the name or year but this one reminds me of it.

Now that is one CRAZY track!

[fci]

Might have been Kyle but I think it was many years ago.

Think that hit me was that a TS was headed down here from the NE and no one seemed to care. There wasn't a S2K board to chat about it and the thing had a little center, like no rain and was pretty much ignored!

Im thinking Edouard 2002

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

I think your talking about EDOUARD because I remember watching him. He got his LLC sheared to death. In did not even make landfall as a tropical storm. He was a small system with very little rain. Then it moved into the Gulf of Mexico in got ate by Fay?

kyle was really confused

[mike18xx]

Note the last potion of Kyle's movement -- it's identical to Franklin's. I.e., moving NE ahead of a front, is occluded by the front, then moves S-SW-W ...and recurves up the coast ahead of the next one.

After Kyle's relentless looping march through trough after trough, you'd figure a few new routines would have made it into the models.
