It loooks like Franklin was right after all, albeit a bit too quick on the downward spiral. I really did not see this kind of shear last night - saw some, but not from the NE (which is obviously where the shear is from now).... now, the shear could weaken just as rapidly as it strengthened, but looking to the WNW of the LLC, I don't see much hope for Chris to do anything but fall apart completely, and rather soon.
DISCLAIMER: This is not the NHC forecast, although the NHC discussion at 5am ET alludes to the possibility. The official forecast is for Chris to weaken slightly, but hold together.
