96-Hour GFS Map

#1 Postby Frank2 » Wed Apr 30, 2014 11:04 am

The GFS currently shows a weak low forming by Sunday along the current SE cold front that will push through South Florida by the weekend - since their is a small maximum in the western Caribbean and GOM/BOC during the first week of May I'm guessing the GFS is picking up on the climatology...

I'm not seeing anything significant on the 12Z GFS, Frank. Some rain along the cold front east of Florida is about it:

That map link you posted has quite a few extraneous lows and highs all over the map. It's an automatically-analyzed map.
