The GFS was at least good sniffing out the non-tropical low that developed and went over Hispaniola and now east of Bahamas. Although it did try on earlier runs making it somewhat tropical, but it was still 7 days out showing increased moisture in the Caribbean and impacting Hispaniola.
Point is, I’ll give it some credit and worth in thinking that we could see some increased moisture moving up from Yucatán.West Caribbean and increasing rain chances through south Florida. Will we see a hurricane though? Highly unlikely.
Other models identified the weak, non-tropical low as well. Only the GFS predicted a tropical storm or hurricane.
