Re:Frankliin

max flight winds found in the east quad. that would indicate a wesward movement, right?

Not necessarily. In general, the maximum winds are found to the right of the storm's motion -- which, given the ENE movement, would tend to favor from the ENE to WSW part of the storm. The east quadrant is in that range. Convection can also play a big role and, given the current convective pattern, it is not a big surprise to see the strongest winds on the east side of the storm. Doesn't have any implication towards the motion, however. --Clark
