Tropical Storm Franklin formed from a low pressure area in the southern Caribbean. This storm will be moving generally westerly over the next few days and will be affecting the southeast coast of Mexico. The storm will cross the Yucatan Peninsula and will enter the southern Gulf of Mexico, continue moving west and will make a second landfall in east central Mexico. This storm will not be directly affecting the coastal areas of the US, so unless there is an unanticipated direction change, this may be the only mention of Tropical Storm Franklin by our TSRC staff.
