Who named the storm "Daniel"? I see the name repeatedly in media reports, but no mention of what agency or organization baptized it.

franklin’s spike in intensity has strengthened the ridge between Idalia and itself, which is pushing oxalis further left in the short term.  If I’m in Tallahassee I’m a bit nervous.  As it’s been stated the storm is looking excellent and is most certainly going to strike as a major.  Only question is how strong (and I’m seeing upper cat 4)

I think you need to add Idalia to your device's dictionary.

Recon is circling an outer band for some reason.

I assume they can't go over Cuba?

Anvils to the southwest of Ida are still blowing straight toward the storm. I wonder if outflow will overcome that. 

Patches of blue sky above Gaithersburg, MD. Low level stuff racing northward.

Any chance all this early cloudiness is going to tamp down CAPE?

Definitely curious to see what Euro ensembles show. Does any have the 00z ones available I don't think I ever saw them. 

Stall just inland of Cape Fear, then slow drift southwest.

Is there a reason why the recon flights won't fly into the eye while its over land?

Probably sovereignty issues. Airspace rights and the like.
