The remnants of Franklin are moving west over Mexico after the storm made landfall as a hurricane overnight in the Mexican state of Veracruz.

It should lose tropical characteristics today as it encounters the mountainous terrain of central Mexico.

It will still be a significant rainmaker, bringing life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to that corridor with more than 4 to 8 inches of rain possible.

As of 11 a.m., winds have weakened to 30 mph.

More local to Florida, storms will gradually become more numerous over the next few days as moisture increases across Central Florida due to an easterly wave over the Bahamas sliding into South Florida.

This feature has a very low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next two to five days. Regardless, it will be the source for higher rain chances through the next few days as the moisture lingers across the Sunshine State.

Another weak low located about 250 miles northeast of the Leeward Islands is showing a low chance of development, but it will stay out over open waters for now.

The next name on the Atlantic storm list is Gert.
