Wow it’s crickets in this thread. Must not be any threats to the. CONUS or the islands.

There's ensemble support still but it's way far out in time.

Lid is on over Florida and Gulf of Mexico if the gfs is to be believed. There might be systems in the Caribbean but it may be confined to stay South. No guarantees we're gonna get anything big in October.
I Don't see any models doing anything next 10 days in the Caribbean. Gonna bee a quite period expect for the eastern Atlantic.

Big “if” there. GFS solutions are varying pretty widely from run to run beyond 10 days

Woof, that is one powerful cyclone that the latest GEFS has there in the WCAR

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

Looks like the early October suppressive period is coming into model range. Shows up well on VP forecasts. Could let some waves sneak into the western basin. I am thinking later in the month for a gyre/major land threat but can’t count this impulse out yet.

12z GFS showing a pretty large persistent CAG in western caribbean that starts in about a week and persists through the end of its 16 day run. Pretty massive gyre. GFS spits out several storms from it.

00z GEFS still has a relatively strong signal for something to get brewing in the WCAR in the Oct 9 - 12 timeframe https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysi ... 92900&fh=6
06z GEFS not quite as strong a signal, but still there and focused more towards the FL straits https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysi ... 2906&fh=-6

GFS keeps advertising a low moving out the Caribbean in @5-6 days and moves @Florida maybe as a TD/TS...

Funny if models suddenly become bullish on this development and track. Then, all we'd need is for the track eventually veer southeast into the Caribbean and it would look a little like "Wanda" could be a backwards Wilma track

I know it's a long way out, but there are a number of GEFS ensemble members in the vicinity of SEFL in mid-October on the 12z GEFS

12Z GEFS and other models have been suggesting a "Ridge Over Troubled Waters" pattern for the second week in Oct. SE, esp. FL, will need to watch that period if that verifies per Nina climo, especially coming from below. After noting and writing this in the pattern thread, the following came out with member TCs:

Why are they so large? I never understood that.

I believe (although not certain), that the size of the circle indicates the spread, or the degree of uncertainty.
From U of Albany " Introduction to Ensemble Prediction"...
http://www.atmos.albany.edu/daes/atmclasses/atm401/comet/ensemble_webcast/print.htm

"The size of the ensemble spread, like the distance between ensemble members in the spaghetti diagram, indicates the degree of uncertainty.
Large spread values mean high uncertainty"

The large ones could be due to a GFS bias to make some member TCs too large and powerful in that area. Those are the isobars for 1004/1000/992 mbs for each member. No doubt that the 4 large members are very powerful Hs. But also note that there are ~15 TCs out of 31 members and only 4 are Hs.
Meanwhile the 12Z EPs is much quieter from its 51 members with only ~15% with TCs vs 50% for the GEFS:

I stand corrected. The ensembles displayed on TT do show the Std deviation, or spread, but I still need to learn how to interpret these confidence levels.
Those were some huge Hurricanes on the GEFS 12z. Hope they don't become reality.
