While the GFS has deserved most of the bashing it has taken this year,
it and other models called this BOC / Western GOM event late last week.
Nice work!

Yes it did. I guess that's why it's one of the
NHC's favorite models.

I think that west Caribbean material finally met an environment where it could branch off a system. It took some real doing under this semi-unfavorable background. With all that dryness it took longer than we thought...

UKMET and CMC were the forefront of the modelling. GFS came in line with it later. GFS is too far east with it down the road and too fast.

Based on the lastest discussion out of Tallahasee,FL
the GFS has shifted much further west.

it's about time the gfs did something right. On other tropical systems its been poor at best. So like a slot machine its going to hit once in awhile. It's just a matter of being right sometimes and wrong sometimes, you and I could do the same.

Sanibel has also been talking about it since last week.

Well, not really. I expected the west Caribbean wave to make a run at formation. This is kind of a branch-off of that wave - but right now looks pretty sickly in that shear...
