Like PTC Emily, TS Franklin, jumps up quickly, even though they noticed the possibility on late Saturday.
It is barely cyclonic, with a very wide center, or less likely to intensify because the center pressure is moderately LOW.
The mountainous Yucatan will shred TS Franklin keeping it a moderate storm, as the path is generally due West.
_______
What I am finding very noteworthy is how far South the 2017 storms are forming. A long series of, ESE flowing, High Pressures fronts are pushing the formation area South and steering [pushing] them away from Gulf and USA Mainland.
Last year there was a kind of Pumping of High, Low, High, Low... not so this year, so far...
More like HIGH, low, HIGH, low... where the lows are hardly seen on the map. One cause of the cyclonic spin is that Pressure Front, pumping action.
________
Another spot of interest is a non cyclonic storm off West African storm kindergarten area, now heading along the 2017 Southern path. Nothing expected till late this week.
