Yeah is pretty bullish, but is possible. Think about it, the GFDL keeps it over water longer than most models. Plus, that water is like bath water, some spots with SSTs near 32C. If you match that up with favorable conditions you are bound to get some rapid intensification. Not saying that the 18z GFDL will verify, but is a possibility.
True. Hurricane Alicia in 1983 was like that. The tropics always have something under its sleeves.
