Re: Franklin, the Little Storm that Could

Quote:

Has anyone noticed that off the Fl coast near Ft Pierce or so a line of storms off shore that look like line/link or something to Franklin? Whats up with this thing?




That's a heavy line of thunderstorms. Just east of Ft Pierce.
The line is moving toward the SE.
Affiliated with Franklin? I can't really tell at this point. Seems to be something of an outflow boundary...but from where.

Looking at a IR shortwave loop. The thunderstorm complex apparently developed in an area between Franklin and the mid-upper level Low over S Florida.
Similar to the area in front of a electric hand mixer.
Converging winds mixing/ forcing their properties together.
