The GFS says crickets after Laura while the Euro shows a bigger threat, it’s hard to go with the GFS considering it’s been horrid with cyclogenesis, heck it seems the euro wants to develop the wave over West Africa but the GFS is crickets

It sends the Thursday splashdown wave (weak sauce) across and into the GA's where it washes out but

12Z EPS is the 3rd run in a row showing a big threat to the SE/E coast of the US from the wave coming off Africa Thursday.

The precursor wave emerges off the coast of Africa between Thursday and Friday. If model support improves, we could see it in a TWO soon.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

The ensembles have been trending westward last couple of days. Likely taking longer to develop

Pick your ensemble at this range. They are 50/50 some head wnw some westward other nw. At this range so many variables it’s still over Africa.

Re: 2020 Global Model Runs Discussion (Out thru day 16)
The wave that leads to the numerous EPS members threatening the SE/Gulf/E US on the last 3 runs is the prominent one now over Africa near 0 longitude between 10N and 20N. It is forecasted to emerge from Africa on Thursday. This is quite robust and already shows curvature. When considering that along with what appear to be generally favorable atmospheric conditions as well as warm SSTs ahead in the MDR and with it being in the heart of the active season during La Nina when many historic storms originated, this one is liable to be a long tracking beast that would be followed for 2 weeks+:

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

Re: 2020 Global Model Runs Discussion (Out thru day 16)
Because this African wave is now dominating this general model runs discussion thread and this could very well end up a beast, I decided it is now worthy of its own thread. I don't know if I've ever created a thread and hope it is ok with the powers here:

Point being, the prior iteration of GFS update did more to neuter the GFS then all of the humane ASPCA efforts to spay/neuter all of the feral cats & dogs.
