Doubt the 00z Euro will come back on board since EPS don't have anything.

They're the ensembles. GFS has GEFS, CMC has GEPS, and the Euro has EPS.

Thank you Storm, but I thought the Euro ran later this evening, or in my case tomorrow morning.

00z GFS looks near hurricane strength as it reaches the islands. Just when I thought this model would start abandoning development of this disturbance, it digs in :lol: :roll: .

Looks to be a classic Caribbean Cruiser on this run, my guess is it goes into Central America.

UKMET develops it for the first time. Hitting the water seems to have really done some favors for this wave lol...

GFS-P has more dry air than the GFS and is probably the reason it doesn't intensify much more near the islands.

Storm going to assume the the Bermuda High must be very strong on this run if it's sending it all the way across basically due west.

Image Break in the ridge at 174. This is gonna pull north, I bet. It's what all the GEFS members (from past runs) who have achieved this strength in this region have been doing.

Is that a short term to the north then back west, or a very big weakness to allow it to escape.
