Tropical 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season & Model Discussion

GFS has a problem with phantoms, especially with the CAG so I wonder if these have been multiple ideas.

But its the CAG and October so that's going to need to be watched anyway, along with possibly a wave from Africa. We need to get "a" wave and there's likely going to be issues until then (or, hopefully we don't get a wave).
 
I do think tropical season has one more surprise in store

Any chance this comes up?

Why only one? We just witnessed the strongest and largest hurricane on record in the central Atlantic? The strongest to hit the Bahamas a month ago? I think more than one surprise may come at this rate.
 
I think for our intents and purposes based off the last few years, I'd say there is possibly going to be 1 more dangerous US threat. Doesn't mean that we're not going to see more storms and it doesn't mean that we don't see landfalls of weaker storms either though (although sometimes weaker ones can cause issues too).

My guess is it either comes from the CAG or from that beastly wave that is about to move off Africa (or maybe already has).
 
Per the 0Z/12Z EPS, 10/7-10 is by a good margin the most concentrated threat for a TC landfall for the CONUS. It isn't extremely active but there is a decent signal. The 18Z EPS concurs with the 10/7-10 threat as best as I can tell since it goes out only through 10/7. Oddly, the GEFS runs have little for that period though the inferior GEPS (which strongly tends to overdo) is quite active then.

That later GEFS based threat that originally was targeting 10/11+ may still turn out to be a phantom as it keeps slipping later and later. So, maybe the biggest threat for this month will turn out to be next week. We'll see.

The gulf must be blistering hot right now from this heatwave.

Indeed, it is solidly warmer than normal like last year at this time although it is actually a tad cooler vs last year at this time in the NE Gulf (83-84 vs 84-85), where they were likely having at or near record high SSTs for early Oct. just before Michael crossed. Had a year ago not been so hot in the NE Gulf, the current readings may very well have been at/near record highs.

These very warm SST anomalies should continue at least through the weekend although they should cool some, especially near the coast by a week from Wed due to significantly cooler air finally getting down there.

Some of the models, including the GFS, have been trending toward a piece of the current NW Caribbean disturbance breaking off and moving to the NE over Cuba to E of the Bahamas before getting trapped by a stronger upper ridge on more recent runs just off the SE US. A weak surface low then forms and goes toward FL before recurving. The 12Z GFS only barely misses FL
due to a stronger 500 mb ridge to its north pushing it further west. The 12z Euro actually has a very weak low moving NW to Cape Canaveral at hour 126 (see below). This isn’t at all a big deal now and very likely will never be a big deal due to shear but may still be interesting to follow:

Euro has a 1005 mb low right off the NC coast that actually deepens to a 995ish low that skirts Cape Cod.....brings no rain to NC though outside of the immediate OBX.....need it to be deeper sooner and150 miles further west.....
