Re: Franklin in the W Caribbean and 99L Problems

Yes, Franklin has a nice general structure and a well-defined circulation, but the core is kinda wimpy. Only slow strengthening is to be expected until deeper convection fills in over the center. Landfall is only several hours away, so cane status may have to wait until the Bay of Campeche.
