We have seen already this year the model spins up phantom storms even in the medium range. That said we are nearing the climatological peak of Sept 10th which is only a few weeks away so sooner than later the models should start showing something real.
Yep, 0Z GFS again has nothing on it. Unless we see multiple ensemble support it’s safe to assume in my opinion that whatever the GFS shows at max range is going to end up as a fantasy cane. The season flip is incoming though, just need multiple models to join in on a disturbance.

Meanwhile EPS seems to have also given up on West Atlantic activity, only showing some activity for OTS systems.
