Francine made landfall yesterday so we review the forecast and some surprising outcomes. We also look at a busy Atlantic but one driven by middling systems and perhaps a more notable southeast system next week. Read more: theeyewall.com/francine-exits…

There's a lot of nuance in data which can sometimes make something seem misleading when in fact it's completely normal. Tomer breaks down one such example with Francine here.

While TS Gordon is not a concern, we will be watching development potential off the Southeast this weekend. Regardless it will bring rain and wind to the Carolinas or Virginia. Also, looking down the line, what else do we see? Find out: theeyewall.com/gordon-forms-w…
