Tropical Storm Franklin is now Hurricane Franklin.

It's churning across the Bay of Campeche and will make a second landfall somewhere near Palma Sola, Mexico overnight.

Franklin's maximum sustained winds are at 85 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. Franklin poses no threat anywhere in the United States.

At 8 p.m., the center of circulation was located about 90 miles to the northeast of Veracruz, Mexico, with hurricane force winds extending 35 miles from the center, and tropical storm-force winds extending 140 miles from the center. Tropical storm warnings and hurricane warnings have been issued for the east coast of Mexico.

This storm is projected to produce torrential rainfall and potentially life-threatening flash floods along the coast of Mexico tonight. More than 4 to 8 inches of rain may fall with some areas receiving up to 15 inches of rain.

Storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels near and to the north of where the center makes landfall. Large, destructive waves will also be a hazard along the coastline where a hurricane warning has been issued.

There is another weak low in the Central Atlantic located about 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands. This feature has a moderate chance of becoming more organized in the next five days as it moves to the northwest, but it will stay out over open waters for now. The next name on the list is Gert.
