The Euro and it’s ensembles are locking in on a CA landfall with this future area next week. With a +NAO this will likely allow a pretty decent ridge to park itself over the Eastern U.S. preventing a threat to Florida or the Gulf Coast.

But the models also show a trough that could pick this up, and the current ridge didn't stop Michael from doing just that. Remember, this is still far out and could definitely change.

Some Californian who codes things and tracks weather.

It’s easy to forget how bad these models can be in the medium to long-range. For example here is what the 00Z Friday Oct 5 GFS showed for Michael...not too bad on track and horrific on intensity:

Oh and here is the Euro for Oct 2nd. Just a whee bit off wouldn’t you say?

Seems to me that this will be dependent upon trough timing.

GFS showing a possible area of low pressure at hour 312 coming in from the SW portion of the Gulf of Mexico heading NE... Although it is wayyy out in fantasy land so take with a grain of salt.

Yeah not seeing anything that would amount to much or much of anything. Beginning to think Michael will be the last big hurrah of the season.

I do not see any models taking this into the GOM infact all drive it straight into Central America. Overnight 00z EPS shows just that. A few members swing it back towards FL after moving over the BOC.

The models have swung more North overnight through 180hrs which is what I suspected would happen considering how far we are out in the range. Now most keep it over water longer into the W. Carribean and then approaching the Yucatan. Then most hint at a scenario where it could fester in the BOC to be picked up by the next trough. I think this is real possibility.

So far the Navgem, Euro, CMC, FV3, Icon all show development. GFS hints at the vorticity but keeps it weak. This looks like a rerun of Michael in the early runs with those group of models showing development versus the GFS and we know how that played out.

FV3 has really ramped this up per the 06z.

The Ukmet looks to be onboard as well with a 1008 Low in the same area as the rest of the models in 144hrs.

Actually the EPS consensus did nudge a bit north in the overnight run. You also have a few now swing it near the Cayman Islands, through western Cuba on its way to South Florida.

I believe it was a wave that was at 30-35W last week. I don’t know where it is now, but it must be one of those sleeper waves.

So is this a significant change from what we've seen previously with these models? It would appear that there is more support for something potentially a little more threatening than what we've beenb seeing so far, if I'm reading this right?

There is a pretty strong signal from the models BUT were it ends up going who knows.

There is a trough creating a weakness over the Gulf and Florida but the system is not strong enough on this run to get pulled into it:
