If the GFS forecast becomes true, at least, hopefully, it won’t be the I named storm.

Next name actually is Fay
FWIW, 18ZGFS cane today is up out of the Caribbean across Cuba and the Bahamas, then an Atlantic fish.
ECMWF long range has no idea what the GFS is smoking.

I forget which run, but it was yesterday the Euro showed a low, I think in the Florida Strait, but it might have been south of Cuba. It left as quickly as it came. That was as close as I had seen. It was gone by the next run.

I for one hope the GFS fantasy storm doesn’t happen. It has the makings of a Hurricane that would get its name retired if it did happen as forecasted.
0Z - nothing
06Z - nightmare that rides up west coast of florida, pull out into the gulf, then hits the panhandle before getting stuck in the mountains Helene style.
12Z - nothing
And importantly, all this is 300+ hours out, and not getting closer each run. IMO, this is the GFS saying "well this is the right time of year for hurricanes, right? I should spit one out here in a couple of weeks."

I have no clue why people use the GFS for hurricanes. It's just not made for that.
In this case, because it's the only one showing something.
I certainly wouldn't use it for that for real, I hope that much I made clear.
Look at the MJO and the Ensemble models instead of single run outputs. The MJO suggests we'll gonna get something close in the next few weeks. Of course, I'll get hammered for saying anything on here. That's been the trend anyways which is why I took a break. I honestly have felt better not being on here.
