Well Franklin's window to become a hurricane is winding down fast. The trof axis is digging, and dry air is already starting to be entrained. Unless the center reforms to the south and decouples under the outflow cloud mass, the storm will quickly lose it's intensity...




OK now I think I can see what you are talking about on the sat image. One end of the trof, as it has moved SE, is curving and cutting into the edge of Franklin just to the NNW, or rather is getting pulled in at that location. Well I guess if you go by the actual center of the circulation, those spinning lower clouds, it seems to be wrapping around it, west and south of it.
