3 hurricane landfalls before Mid September is pretty impressive still despite how dead it has seemed

I might wrong but I’m fairly certain that I have heard mets say in the past that wind shear to the north well away from the storm can often help with outflow.

It's not necessarily the shear but a hurricane outflow can connect up with the jet stream if it's nearby to create an outflow jet which would aid in intensification.

I'm imagining the groans if it comes right back.

Francine has strengthened, with maximum sustained winds near 85 mph
(140 km/h) with higher gusts.

Category 2 likely. Wouldn’t surprise me to see 100-110 by landfall

 

[Philstorm91]

It looks like the current track takes her right over MBY. Based on past storms it would not surprise me to see this nudged a little further east, putting me on the relatively safer side of the storm.

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

SUSTAINED UP TO 90 MPH
DOWN TO 977MB

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

ALSO LOOKS LIKE A SLIGHT MORE EASTWARD JOG

WONDER IS THE TROUGH COMING OUT OF TX IS A LITTLE AHEAD OF FORECAST OR A TAD BIT MORE POTENT AND MIGHT VEER IT MORE EAST BEFORE NORTH
