Note that the shear on the GFS is nil near the storm.

The models are slowly coming onto the idea of a cut off upper low over the western gulf. depending on the placement of that this system could have that potential especially if it is slower...


the GFS also this RUN has a very strong digging trough.. will see if that changes..

The invest tag looks more imminent now at any time with the bullish GFS performance at 12z.

But the GEFS Ensembles have been quite bullish for runs now, so this isn’t as surprising as it could be.

Most models picking up on moving this more towards FL. Makes sense in October. I have hard time seeing this making landfall any further west than FL/AL border. Models are also picking up on a more favorable environment for development.

SO far the CMC pretty much has not wavered in days.. same general track into the gulf. after that its to far out.

current 12z CMC is farther west.

Yeah, the only way this comes further west is if shorter term motion brings it similar to what the CMC is showing. I believe a path directly through the Yucatan Channel or over the tip of Cuba takes this into FL.
