Franklin came ashore over Mexico’s southern Yucatan as a 60 mph tropical storm, weakened over land but brought significant rainfall as you would expect. Now that he’s back over water and warmer water than before, he’s re-strengthening and expected to become the season’s first hurricane prior to a secondary Mexico landfall.
Water temps near 90F remain just ahead of Franklin as of this writing.

Current visible and infrared shows a healthier, better organised system at the end of the loop.
