It would be good that this develops into the only major of the season to track it in the middle of the ocean without affecting anyone. I am dreaming right? :)

EC turns it due west along 21N with decent ridging to the north

That said, I do not buy that this will develop

Yep, saw that and interesting indeed. The 00Z ECMWF turned it west similarly so it's not just the last run only. Yet the GFS blows it up and recurves it in the Central Atlantic.

My bets are with the ECMWF.

18Z GFS has a named system out of this as early as 48 hours from now...just south of the Cape Verde islands.

By 72 hours, it shows a hurricane.

Getting close to major hurricane status just 4 days from now: :eek:

Meh just a few days ago models, especially the gfs were showing at this current time there would be a storm in the gulf. And of course there is nothing out there worth mentioning.

To be fair, there is actually some sort of physical low pressure system this time, as opposed to one that was expected to form later. I'm not buying the strong hurricane forecast either though.

Could you show how the ECMWF run ends?
