Today’s 18z ICON has had one of its strongest solutions yet: a 913 mbar system in the SW Pacific on Day 4. I’ve never seen it get below 925 mbar before.

I am neither a meteorology student nor a professional, I'm just a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Anyone know why the GFS-Para has been "off-line"? Also, can any of you share any insights to planned Model upgrades expected to occur this upcoming Spring or Summer?
With Spring officially less then one month away, I'm starting to turn my attention to broad scale mid and upper level pattern nuances and how well longer range global models over the Atlantic and W. Africa are tending to over/under play strengths and depths of troughs and high pressure ridging relative to what eventually verifies on their respective mid to long range forecast. More bluntly, I want to take the occasional measure if any global modeling appear to suck any less then they have during recent years

Not sure why it's unavailable on Tropical Tidbits, but the Parallel model is available on Pivotal Weather - https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?fh=loop&dpdt=&mc=&r=na&p=prateptype_cat&m=gfs_para

Hmmmm? Agreed, odd that Levi wouldn't have a working link. Anyway, thanks Rob.

How? It was up & running 2-3 hours before!?

Maybe they have a maintenance ongoing on the site, very common for certain sites to go down because of maintenance . . .
