Well...after you look at this mess it's not hard to believe the ECM might be correct!

I could be wrong on this, but the Bamd isn't as good during the later half of the season when the upper pattern is more progressive from observance. It tends to do better when things are controlled by high pressure and not so well with troughs digging in especially in October.

^ The EC may very well be correct, but the current stance is that it is the outlier at this time compared to the rest.

It's interesting to note the ecmwf does not really strengthen this as it moves into the eastern Caribbean. It strengthens rapidly once the gulf of Mexico trough lifts out.

Looking at tomas now maybe it will just get this right.

This could be a major intensity forecast bust from the nhc if the euro holds

Let's be honest...the official agency has not done well with this one anyway.

^ That is why you use the consensus of where the majority goes. Could they be wrong? Absolutely, the single odd one could be right, but that is not generally a wise thing to do. Follow what most are saying and when/if they converge with the odd one out, make a better forecast.

I'm not sure what some posters are talking about. The consensus is actually in good agreement right now for a north turn. There is an outlier with the Euro which should be discussed, but I want some newbies to know it a a low probability right now.

I know...it's sad. I do not have many thousand posts on this site and I guess I am considered a newbie for it.

Whatever....the ECM is on the money right now and is not backing off!

Based on what? It's the outlier, which means it is against all the other models. You want to go with the single model that does not show what the others do? That is like betting on the one horse in the race with a broken leg.

The Euro is a total outlier. The consensus of every model except the Euro is for a sharp right turn, the only difference is the speed/timing. Except the Euro, which has an unrealistic solution for Tomas.
