The GEFS will be key to determining if this run of the GFS was a fluke or a real trend.

Who is treating the 12Z GFS as THE definitive run? Most of the deterministic model runs are discussed in this thread as that is why this thread exists.

The CMC has a different formation scenario than the GFS. Instead of the gyre concentrating into a TC, it catches the remnant vorticity of 93L, rotates it into the Caribbean, and develops there. That means this could develop anywhere from just south of Jamaica to just off of the Yucatán.

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.

Quite the signal on the 12z GEFS.

Quite a strong signal but for 3 or 4 runs in a row the GFS has this going east of Florida in the Bahamas based on the trough pulling this up I’m starting to feel a little better that this might pass us by like all the other storms have done this year so far.

Yep, I see that. It'll be interesting to see what the operational 18z run shows now.

Today does not seem to be a good day for the models. Both the GFS-Para are having issues; the 06z GFS-Para failed to load beyond 72hrs, and the 12z ICON only loaded halfway.

HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)

I do remember that. During that year the gfs was way over the top with intense storms but I think upgrades since then have tapered that back quite a bit. 893mb was over the top, but Irma easily could have been a sub 915mb storm if it missed Cuba and lanfalled in SFL

I'd feel better if the signal wasn't still 10 days out. Wait until its in the 3-5 day range before sounding the all clear.

Still two camps at day 12.
Would be nice if the Euro would get itself together for once this season and show development.

The precursor gyre is now only 5 days out. Depending on how quickly it coalesces, we should have a named TC between the 20th and 23rd.
