Peninsula Florida deflector shield locked in on that run. Tries so hard to landfall but just can’t even showing a SE movement in the Gulf to avoid landfall which I never have seen. Most unrealistic run of the year.

I would think though the second system the gfs is showing north of the islands might have some implications in terms track for anything that develops down there. Complicated

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Another system forms to the NE of Epsilon and would likely snatch the name Zeta, making this Eta. That’s assuming the second subtropical system becomes a reality.

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: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Second system much weaker on this run might not tug on it as much as it did on the 12z run.

? At this point 12Z should be the most recent run.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
~9 Days out, 210 hours, MUCH weaker (997mb vs 981mb) than the 06z run - roughly same location - From here on out, it's fantasy again.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
The Florida area will most likely escape this system due to the constant troughs digging south and pulling everything NE on to winter weather.

Looks like Epsilon weakens the ridge and helps draw Zeta to the north. Zeta’s track and intensity is basically the same as yesterday’s 12z GFS run.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
There's currently a strong -NAO so the only way anything will affect the FL Peninsula is if it is in the NW Caribbean near the western tip of Cuba or The Yucatán peninsula.
Not much support from the GFS and its ensembles for anything to affect Florida.
