Gfs has more interaction with the baggy trough over the gomex and washes Jose out which allows tune NE ridge to bridge with the atlantic ridge. It also had a much stronger/farther west ridge in the atlantic. There are a couple of scenarios that would favor Maria getting well west. As has been the theme it all depends on Jose
