GFS is full throttle, depicting stronger and stronger disturbances rolling of Africa as time goes on:

First one rolls off Africa in about 5-7 days (183 hours shown):

Second one is more robust and farther into the future (384 hours shown below):

That GFS run has it down to 996mb already at 384h by the Cape Verde islands. :eek:

:uarrow: Here is a better look at it @ 384hrs. Is this a sign of things to come or just the GFS being it's old self? Only time will tell! But interesting nonetheless.

Looks like there is also something else behind it. :darrow:

Gatorcane,

Do you think the Gfs is doing this because of climatology only because current conditions are just outright hostile out there?? Or maybe it sees conditions improving??

The wave train starts picking up in August so its not surprising that the long range GFS is showing it. However, I'm very skeptical about conditions being favorable for the waves...

The GFS is not a climatology-based model so whatever it is seeing could be some better conditions out in the MDR for these waves.

Latest 12Z GFS run one week out with 94L heading west (doesn't kill it off until around 220+ hours into the run which is too far out to have any confidence) and another larger system behind it. Looking active in the MDR if you ask me. August has arrived folks:

What is left of 94L reaches PR and it would be good to bring some very needed rain.

Even if things are not going to be too favorable at least PR and many of the islands that are going thru the drought need at least a couple of strong waves that dump plenty of rain.

Nice to see the annual parade of GFS phantom storms has begun, complete with an 80 mph hurricane forming over desert. :lol:

GFS has gone from overdoing genesis to underdoing it. That problem has been corrected. The only thing that hasn't seem to fix is the MJO forecasting issues.

Latest GFS develops low behind 94l and moves it far west through the Caribbean and the run ends with it hitting Hispaniola.

Next run it should have it hitting Florida :lol:

So this is a MJO forecasting issue?

The 0z GFS forms something behind 94L at 132hrs

The 18zGFS forms the same area at 144hrs

The 12zGFS forms the same area at 132hrs

The 6zGFS forms the same area at 132hrs

so its really not moving up its timetable so it may be hard to believe that system will come to fruition now if it starts moving up in timetable then it may be something to talk about

The 0zGFS has a much better organized system 168 than the 18z at 174 so thats a trend that needs to be watched but since there isn't much in the wave where this comes from at the moment it may be a phantom storm
