I would bet that we will have another GoM storm. The water is still warm enough. The GFS was wrong about countless phantom storms in the long ranger so I don't trust it when it shows nothing either.
We have yet to get a cold front in Key West. It still fes like late September here. That makes me believe there is still a high chance of more GoM activity.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Actually, this past GFS 6Z GFS model run shows a 1006 low developing in the MDR around 45W at 318 hr.'s. It remains in the MDR and deepens to 1004 mb. Here's the best part. Does this low runner appear to approach the Windward Islands? Not quite. It tracks..... EAST and eventually approach's the Cape Verde Islands. Before you laugh while stating "GFS 318 hr. forecast is fantasy-land" or "just another long range GFS ghost storm", keep this in mind. Mid to long range GFS and CMC model forecasts have for a long time earned the reputation for developing erroneous oceanic (intentionally not using the word "tropical") low pressure areas. So, why not simply toss out this long range "blip" as nothing other then just more long range hyperbole?? Because doing so would underestimate NHC's increasing proclivity to name oceanic cyclones. It's for no other reason that I won't be at all surprised if T.S. Vance is eventually tagged and closes out this "over-active" season somewhere around the December 20th time-frame. Then again, I suppose one should not rule out the possibility of also adding a "Wendy" to the 2019 Atlantic Seasonal Review either. Careful post-season analysis could easily uncover at least one more cyclone that was somehow missed during it's 6-12 hr. lifespan while perhaps just north of Guyana or possibly directly over Lake Okeechobee sometime this past March or April
