Looks as if Franklin is trying to form an eye in the last few frames  web page
It's just another convective artifact, much like yesterday's feature. Shadows from the sun passing by might be enhancing the visual effect somewhat. The storm's too weak -- per recon reports all day -- for an eye to be getting going. --Clark

I am interested in the wave in the Caribbean. If something develops in the Gulf what areas of the Texas coast might be affected?

Is it possible that the Carribean disturbance could become named a depression over the yucatan penninsula?...I know Opal in 95 first became a dpression over it.. I was wondering if that was rare or what?...just curious.
edit: Opal was practically over it.....really close.

What is the probability that Franklin will turn west? I can't remember which hurricane it was that did a 360 (started out east than looped back to the west). Is this a possibility for Frankilin? Also, what would cause a hurricane to make that drastic of a change in direction?

If you look at ' plotted path, she did a 360, if I'm not mistaken. But I understand a change in direction would be a 180. Thanks for the clarification.

The storm that made a loop last year was Jeanne, as has been mentioned countless times in the past 24 hours.
As for the forecast, on visible satellite you can see both a northerly component in Franklin, as well as a trough currently diving across the Carolinas and Georgia. If these meet, Franklin will be quickly swept off to sea. If Franklin doesn't make it far enough north, the ridge is likely to reassert itself, leading to the anticyclonic loop scenario.
(I'm only repeating this speculation, as it too has been discussed numerous times already in this thread)

Can you send me a link where you can see the trough by GA? If there is one.

I was referring to The Atlantic Visible loop on http://www.wunderground.com/tropical but I don't know if that's present for non-subscribers. It is however visible in the first few frames of the RAMSDIS linked on page 1 of this thread.

This is an interesting loop. Is the gulf system interfering with Franklin again?
