Latest GFS run. Ridiculous range, but what the heck. :)

Unfortunately the GFS still has the same problem.

Classic ghost storm. Keeps pushing the time frame back.

Time frame moving forward and still there at 0z GFS. Expect it be dropped within a day or so, but it may come back once the time frame moves closer.

GFS has no clue as it is between EPAC and Western Caribbean.That is why long range is not good to follow too much.

EPS long-range still hinting at the old GFS model storm, so bears watching though the timeframe has been pushed back.

In other news, it looks like the April +PDO could continue the uptick again from March which was a slight increase. The cold tongue from Japan to the Gulf of Alaska is classic +PDO

First time in 2017 that the ECMWF has something. (Day 10) Now let's see if it continues to show it in future runs.

Yeah. Some EPS members show development around day 9 and every single member shows development by day 11. Some of the members show this becoming a robust hurricane. Well in line for the start of the EPAC hurricane season.

Someone want to start a thread for EPAC guesses? I know the following isn't large but it would be cool to see some guesses to compare :D

Just post them here and I'll edit the first post where I'll keep track, if that's okay.

Sounds good to me!

After learning from you guys that +PDO is a strong indicator (arguably even more than ENSO) I like 1984, 1985, 1994, and 2014 subset. All within decent +PDO periods and string of active seasons for the EPAC and all followed a significant El Nino event in years prior. My guess would be 21/13/7 ACE of 185

I'm thinking 18-19 named storms, 11-12 hurricanes, 4-5 majors as of now. Still a bit of uncertainty at the moment due to ENSO though.

17/9/4 I'm not seeing many strong signals for above average, however there aren't many strong signals for below average, so I would say that near-slightly above average seems reasonable
