I think the models seem to show something in the EPAC every year around this time? At least that is what my memory is saying. 8-)

I don't believe it yet but the CMC has been considerably better in the past few years. Let's see if it can get a pre-season victory.

GFS has two different developments on medium to long range.

After last year, worthy of keeping an eye on but with MJO leaving I’m skeptical.

I figured one of these successive MJOs were going to seep into the EPAC sooner rather than later. In this case the GFS may get it somewhat right, though I think any system may be more likely to form close to land.

Reminder that Adrian in 2017 was the earliest EPAC named storm on May 10th.

GFS and CMC have a TC in the 7-10 day range. Looks like a legit possibility. Could be a decent hurricane or a disorganized and sheared TD.

Potential for 3 systems on the GFS but we'll likely only see one.

The disturbance that the models have been on and off about is looking very robust tonight.

Model support is increasing for a potential preseason system headed into the weekend. We'll see if the NHC takes note soon.

00z Euro and CMC don't make it anything more than a TD while the 00z GFS has a Cat.1 cane. Signal is there. Tomorrow evening I think the NHC will talk about it.

Looking ahead for southern Mexico, a limited
fresh to strong NE Gulf of Tehuantepec gap wind wind event may
occur on Fri related to low pressure farther south into the
tropical waters. The low pressure may bring increased winds and
seas to the waters off Oaxaca and Guerrero Fri and Sat.

The GFS is very interested in the idea that we could potentially see TS Andres quite soon.

Bom's global model atm thinking of a TD. The model is much the same as the unified ukmets.

Only takes a slight drop in the mid-level humidity for a miss calculation in that perimeter (x). For a system to intensify more than expected by the models.
