Again I think it's very close...it may not be there yet...but the upper environment will get better.
One thing to note...the advisories on Franklin were out awful early...

An encounter with the Dominican Republic does not guarantee a tropical system's death; i.e., it does not guarantee it'll get its guts ripped out. I guess it's possible that could happen, but whether or not something is killed be the DP is usually determined by how strong the system is and how fast it's moving. Given that this is a wave and that it's moving very quickly, I bet it will survive, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about anything until it gets past Hispaniola.

As for the radar presentation there are clearly weak but pronounced banded radar returns there…especially to the west of where the circulation appears to be…and these echos have become better defined in the last hour or so. Hard to see what’s happening on the other side even with the long range…
As far as the advisories go…they may have gotten the Franklin stuff out of the way to save time to write an advisory if they have to. Just noting that they got that package out pretty early…not sure if it really means anything either…but it’s interesting.

Most of you have satellite bug eyes by now! I last looked at the loop around 1pm, it does look better now! It seems like it's consolidating near St. Croix! IMO

Have the convection to the east die, and the convection around the LLC be more organized, and then a TD or TS can form. Of course, that can't happen with all the shear right now.
