@RyanMaue
Nothing showing up on global EPS tropical cyclone probability maps for the North Atlantic [still a month before official start of hurricane season]. However, possible to see some activity in the Eastern Pacific as the waters (SST) are very warm -- 29°C+

Is the first time in 2018 that the ECMWF shows something trying to form into a Tropical Depression / Weak Tropical Storm.

Almost around the same time as yesterdays GFS runs.

Too far west for me to get bullish, at least without more consistency.

Usually May storms are closer to Mexico. But It's plausible to have a storm this far west due to the +PMM. 26C-27C already extend up to 15N and 140W.

GFS shows it weak and doesn't last long.

I'm definitely thinking that with the west based PMM and the potential for a Modoki-ish Nino, there will be many west based storms this year, with a lot of long trackers that go into the CPAC. If there is a year that Hawaii gets a hit, I'm thinking it would be this year.

A little bit stronger at 06z run starting at 126 hours and also has the close to CentralAmerica one on long range.

Yeah it's still on vacation lol.

Thinking the 18z GFS keeps it. If the 00z GFS continues to have it then there's a chance the Euro comes on board in its 00z run.

The timeframe shrinks for the close to CentralAmerica area that GFS has been showing for many runs as it all begins on day 10.It also continues to show the open water system. Now we wait for the Euro to wake up.

Euro has the western based TC as either a weak TS or a TD. Just develops it too late and runs out of warm waters. Pretty good chance for development I would say. Probably a yellow marker soon.

Euro also looks like it has a weak TS/TD off of Mexico @ hour 240.

Looks like the GFS and the Euro are coming into agreement.

The first TC doesn't look like it'll break Adrian's record last year, but probably another preseason system

The 00z run of Euro will be important to see if is in complete agreement with GFS but is a good sign what it has at 12z.

Model guidance is hinting that a tropical low will develop near
11N115W during the middle of next week and intensify as it
tracks northwest and later north. The Easter Pacific Hurricane
Season runs from May 15th to November 30th. The Easter Pacific
basin extends to 140W.

No change from GFS at 18z. Only the close to CA doesn't develop because it interacts with land but copious rains for those folks.
