I guess the GFS and Euro heard all the talk about 1988 being a possible analog year, and are now trying to make Gaston the next Gilbert.

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.

Re: Tropical wave east of the Windward Islands (0/20)
So the only major model that does not develop this into a hurricane is the Canadian. (ICON has it, but the 0z/12z runs end at +180 hours)

Or Hermine, depending on what 97L does.
Either way, wouldn’t be shocked to see this system become a Cat 4 or potentially even a 5. Warm waters with very high UOHC lie ahead.

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.

Canadian has it briefly, it pushes it into CA under strong ridging.

Plenty of EPS members that don't even develop this. Lots of time left here.

When Andy Hazelton of all people seems somewhat bullish or concerned, then you know the game is about to really begin.

Well 10 days out is always too far, regardless of whether the models have had a good year or not

Much higher chance this develops than doesn’t develop imo.

That strong member that just misses the tip of Cuba and recurves into the bend area looks like it would be trouble. That’s like max time over water with the potential to be aided rather than hindered by an approaching front due to its direction of travel approaching landfall
