BTW...18Z GFS appears to be even further north off of the Cuban coast than the 12z was at 33 hours...

But I guess that doesn't matter since it's the 18z... :na: j/k

The NAM has about as much credibility as the CLIP model and the XTRP model in terms of tropical cyclone prediction

Ridge opens up, starts to haul north, then bam, stops and turns left, with a much slower forward speed?

The old adage about the 18z model runs being "garbage" is no longer accurate. I would be very careful to assume as much. Take a look, for example, at the recent model quality scores. You will see here that the 18z GFS is only a hair less reliable than the more highly thought of 0z GFS run.

Looks similar to 12z some good run to run consistency with the gfs. Real key is time spent over Cuba, because conditions in the far western atlantic would be conductive to strengthening (probably moreso than the Gulf).

That 18Z GFS run is notable in that the center is only over land very briefly (as far as the islands are concerned), and basically no Cuba traversal.

The models continue to want to really crank it up once it leaves Cuba and heads for SFL. Not sure I buy that. Those mountains really like to disrupt the core of storms. But with the consensus on intensification during this window, it has to be taken seriously. (Just my opinion, not a professional forecast.)
