The operational GFS and its ensembles are very bearish about any activity in the 10-12 day time frame. The EPS, by contrast, develops the 0/20 AOI and has two waves with potential for development by September 19th.
We should probably disregard the GFS because not only is it showing the same abnormal Niño-like shear as the CFS, but it just had a massive failure with Super Typhoon Chanthu. Just a few days ago, it had nothing coming from it, but in the last 24 hours it went pinhole and became a 140-150 kt Cat 5. Somehow, the GFS missed this becoming even a typhoon mere days in advance — a failure comparable to the Euro last year. Clearly it’s not doing very good with TCG.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
