We can even go to as recent as Agatha and Alex, guess which model was the first to pick both of them up.
You are right. The Euro did not do well with Laura. It kept trying to dissipate it/keep it very weak and that just did not happen. I want to see more examples this year of storm formation to know which model handles cyclogenesis better. Every year is different so I will not dismiss the Euro. At the same time, I will not dismiss the GFS yet, but I doubt if anything forms it will be anywhere close to the intensity shown on the GFS.
