Besides the last few GFS runs, all other credible operational models keep this very weak for several more days, well into the Caribbean. Also, note that the 18Z GFS is the weakest it has been at the LAs since the 0Z 9/19 run. So, even the GFS is signaling that these last few runs will likely turn out to be too aggressive that far east. The map of TC origins during Sept 21-30 says that if it doesn't become a TD by the LAs (the likely case right now), it will almost certainly wait at least for another 800-1000 miles after which all bets are off on nondevelopment. So, I'm expecting no TD formation before at the very least 70W. But I fully expect this to become a big deal by the W Caribbean, regardless.
