The LLC seems to be situated between 72 W and 31 N based on quickstat winds and visible satellite imagery. Infrared imagery indicates a dense area of cirrus clouds to the east of the LLC looks like it's becoming baroclinic. The shear axis of the shortwave trof is really having it's affects on Franklin. I don't think Franklin will have any affects on the U.S., even wave wise... Globals have it being absorbed by the large low off of Newfoundland in 48 hours, though the track could vary somewhat from now to then...

The large wave between the Lessser Antilles and the CV islands is showing up beautifully on visible imagery. Very healthy despite the dust...

EDIT: obviously earlier satellite imagery as it's dark right now in the Cape Verde region...
