The Happy Hour GEFS is less active than the 12Z but it has one H sit over S FL for 96 hours 10/10-14!

Euro Ensembles continue stronger with each run.

Ukmet is a little stronger and faster than the 12z. Models starting to show some agreement.

06z GEFS strongest run I have seen so far at 12 days. Looks to have shifted west now more inline with the Euro and other models. The OPS run continues to be way out to the East. I think it is better to keep looking at the GEFS than the Ops Run for now.

Why is it better to trust the ensembles rather than the operational?, isn’t it a little nieve to completely discount the operational model runs?

Well, I have always thought that too much emphasis is placed on the much more covered OPS runs, ESPECIALLY longer range, because almost all the modeled conditions have to be correct right from initialization. Ensembles are many runs conducted by tweaking conditions a bit at the start. Using ensemble blends in the longer range are a very useful tool.

In many cases the ensembles set the trend. They also can be an indicator of what future operational runs might show.

Fair point, but it’s still not guaranteed to happen is it?,

Starting to look interesting in the western Caribbean next weekend. GFS and Euro ensembles bullish on development, OP runs of NAVGEM, UKMET, CMC, and ICON all showing cyclone development. Be watching this one carefully sitting on the west coast of Florida. Oh and did I mention it has climatology going for it too.

Of course not guaranteed, at the end of the day these models are merely high tech computer simulations. They are forecasting tools to be used by professional forecasters in conjunction with climo and many other factors :)

Models' trend for development next week over the western Caribbean continue to increase, it never fails when there's always a +NAO regime continuing through early Autumn.

The GEPS remains bullish with development with some members taking a hurricane NE over peninsula Florida and others NW into the Gulf:
