Canadian now favors a real TC on the EPAC side, leaving just a sheared mess in the Gulf

Not so fast says Levi Cowan.
@TropicalTidbits
Just a reminder that the GFS has remarkable problems in large-scale cyclonic, convective environments. For example, the speed of northward propagation and amplification of the W. Carib low on the 12Z run is mostly a product of errant convection. These are the vorticity paintbombs

12Z GFS pretty much takes it up the spine of FL

What I especially don't like is the fact that it looks like it's going to loop back into the Gulf for more trouble..

Huh weird cause in the last frame the center is over the Gulf

12Z GFS ensembles show good concentration around big bend area of Florida / NE Gulf and are mostly west of where the GFS operational has the system. What is it about the Big Bend of Florida? Seems early season cyclones love heading that way. That said, being a sheared system, heavy rainfall would extend well east of the center.

It is.....06Z run has a 933mb cane on Louisiana coast on May 31st.....MGC
And it sits on the SE Louisiana coast for 2 days as a major hurricane, putting New Orleans underwater. This "upgraded" GFS is going to be interesting...
My fear is once we get an actual tropical storm to form, these FV3 GFS runs are going to be plastered all over social media for click bait and cause a lot of people to panic. The "new GFS" last year was bad enough, this FV3 "upgraded" version will be even worse.
FWIW the 12z ICON has a decent storm passing through the Yucatan channel.

Time to open a new thread on the Western Caribbean system? Floater currently on NW Caribbean is being moved down to the SW Caribbean blob:

Re: 2018 Tropics: Global Model Runs Discussion (Out to day 16)
We have a new thread for the SW Caribbean area so go there to post the models runs.Thanks for your cooperation.

The CMC has been forecasting a phantom storm on the EPAC side for days now.

the new FV GFS buries it over Central America
Maybe its time NCEP and you know who starts listening to the research community when it comes to model development. This is the second time they went against the suggestions of the research community when choosing the new NCEP global model

That might be more realistic.

I'm entertained by how the FV3 is continually developing a micro TC in the far NE Gulf and is actually moving up the development with each run... About 42 hours or less away.

The 0Z CMC run also shows that feature PSU Hiker developing off Tampa Bay 12Z tomorrow morning, and then moving northwest into the Panhandle region.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

There's a pretty apparent (albeit weak) low level vort center just offshore Cedar Key moving northwest toward Apalachicola. So while the model guidance was overdone, it correctly sniffed "something" small out, reasonably close to the correct time frame, a good 5 days in advance. That's pretty impressive to me.
As a fellow met said to me a couple decades ago, "Sometimes it's not about exactly what the model is saying, but what it's trying to say instead".

I think I see the very weak vortex on radar. Maybe this means the FV3 will be similar to the CMC, which would mean sometimes sniffing out something that other models don't sniff out due to being "genesis happy" but also showing numerous fake geneses as well as correct geneses that are often strengthened too much.

GFS keeps the monsoon trough over the Caribbean and cranks out another system around day 10

Yep here it is:
It meanders it around Central Gulf before slamming the West Central Fl area.
Fantasy range but gives one the idea of the setup taking place then.
