Subtropical system?
At about 36 Hrs the GFS spins up something in the tropical Atlantic and quickly shoots it NNE, but it definately wants to develop something there.......

That is more than one model forecasting this and water temps in that area are marginal... http://grads.iges.org/pix/hurpot.html Something could happen there.

Yes, all the models that i have seen develop SOMETHING out there, some develop it a little further south though (Ukmet) and thus they are the stronger models with the system. The CMC develops a weak but closed low further north quickly taking it NNE. Nonetheless all the tropical models seem to be hinting at SOME possible action within 36-48 Hrs. Definately something to keep an eye on!

The UKmet is the most aggressive (surprise)....
And the CMC seems least aggressive with the feature
Tom this implies that the UKMET and CMC are tropical models. Maybe it wasn't intend to read that way.

The feature being mentioned formed at about 40N on the model runs before the original posts, and it was described as "coming out of the tropics."
Basically, it's your routine shortwave-induced low by the jetstream, the sort of thing you see hundreds of times a year. It's not even remotely subtropical on the models, much less tropical.
