deeper convection refiring

It's worth noting that Frances could be intensifying again based on IR satellite imagery. The cloud tops around the eye are getting much taller (redder in the IR imagery), and the outflow appears to be expanding to the W. In addition, it looks spectacular to the north.

yes, it appears it is finishing up its cycle. I'd look for intensification through the next 12 hours.

Doesn't matter what the winds are now. Only when it makes landfall.
