Yeah, this isn't AccuWeather saying a storm will hit on 6/3. However, showing the GFS (or any) model without making clear that it's next to worthless at 12 1/2 days in advance is irresponsible.

interesting.
which model run is this? Has it persisted from run to run? Any other models pick it up?
I'm going to keep a watch on it anyway even if it is 300 hours away. There is a pattern shift coming in the mid-to long range (week to two weeks) and the conditions *could* be right.

model watching can be fun though. :lol:

Honestly guys, this was just a blog posted at accuweather and should not be held up with a fine toothed comb and analyzed a great deal. I believe he was just saying that gfs was showing something in the future just like people on this site post about GFS showing some type of tropical development past 150+ hours.

Also notice that just of the CAROLINA'S the SST'S are around 73-74 degrees....so if somthing were to form it most likely not form into anything more than a tropical storm if that.

the title of this thread is very missleading. Accuweather is not saying a TS will
hit SC on June 3rd...

What pattern shift?


I should clarify (though I already talked to CVW in private :) ) that the pattern shift was overall, warm weather finally for the northeast and mid-Atlantic. Not my forecast but I saw it on the news this morning and at another weather site that I surf.

Just the GFS 300 Hours out. I wouldnt put too much into it. Title is misleading though on this thread.

Hmmm ... didn't even know AccuWx had a blog ...

Anyway, this appears to be from this morning's 6z run. There's no feature like that on either the 0z run or last night's 18z run. And as mentioned above, it's at 300 hours, so essentially just noise.

yeah they started their blog last spring. It'd be super cool if they offered comments like other blogs and then responded to the comments, but it's their blog and they can do what they want with it. :)

While we are talking GFS output, the GFS is showing a tropical system in the BoC over the weekend...coming up from the Pacific.

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/carib/gfs/06/images/gfs_85v_144m.gif

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/carib/gfs/06/images/gfs_85v_168m.gif


As far as the other event...the GFS starts to show it in 240 hours in the western Caribbean. It then moves NNE towards SC in 300 hours. Granted...that's a long time away...and probably an anomaly. We'll see. I'm more interested in what the GFS is seeing move up from the Pacific in less than 5 days...
