I think the GFDL is hosed here...especially on the movement. It looks as if the system is trying to organize further EAST than initialized. If that is the case...and if the LLC gets under the convection and moves more NNE and N than NNW...then this system has a decent chance at tropical storm status. It all depends on where it goes once the low forms.

Is the GFDL run off of the GFS--I remember from last year that there was a model that was based on the GFS but cant rember which one it was. 18z GFDL and 18z GFS are identical.

It's run off of GFS data (the GFDL).

the GFDL was ok last year wasn't it. It had Ivan as a category 4 within 3 days and thats what happened.

The GFDL had a right bias last year. Tried to turn Frances to the north at 72 hours all across the Atlantic. Same thing with Ivan at times. I don't think that the GFDL is seeing the southwesterly wind shear across the northern Gulf as the upper low retreats.

As for movement, the ridge off the southeast U.S. is forecast to build southwestward into Florida in a few days. That should keep the system moving NNW-N rather than toward Florida. I think a sheared TS is most likely out of this disturbance.

Highly unlikely to be anything more than a tropical depression. This model has a definite bias--wasn't it predicting Adrian to be a cat 4??

The GFDL must be good for something if it's used by forecasters. Does it have any particular strengths?
