2026 Global Model Runs Discussion (Out thru day 16)

Here we go for 2026.

Looks like the new year will start with a couple of cyclones in Southern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal.

2025 Global Model Runs Discussion (Out thru day 16)

There are a few ECENS members seeing this as well. Op GFS brought the moisture into Texas as ice and snow at 0Z. January EPAC systems contributing to winter storms could be a thing. I'm not sure this post is worthy of starting the 2026 tropical models thread.

6Z run has less freezing/frozen but would have beneficial rains for S Texas

GFS is very consistent on the idea that the South Pacific is going to witness a formidable cyclone during the early parts of April.

6Z GFS tries but ultimately fails to develop a sub tropical depression about due E of MIA and about due N of Barbados. Early season sub-tropical and baroclinic storms can be a thing during El Nino.

Looks like the GFS was right with the idea that Maila would turn into a Category 5 storm. This is quite impressive, considering Papua New Guinea cyclones are extremely rare in the first place.

Maila made Aus. Cat. 5, sure, but the GFS was initially predicting a sub-900 hPa high-end SSHWS Category 5. Still impressive that it predicted an intense cyclone would form there at such a lead time, but given that Maila's actual peak intensity (to date) has been 125 kt / 930 hPa, the GFS runs in question seem to have overshot the mark by a substantial margin.
