Regarding the MDR AOI:
12Z:
-GFS/CMC/Icon all have this eventually as a H with GFS/CMC both recurving well E of Bermuda (Icon doesn’t go out far enough to tell)
-JMA through 72 has this as a TD at 48 and a TS at 72. This is stronger than the two prior 12Z runs that each had it as only a TD.
-Euro has a MH passing just SE of Bermuda
-UKMET again has this as a TS. This is a bit further W than recent runs but it’s still aiming a bit E of Bermuda as of 168:

For the MDR AOI, 0Z runs:
-are fairly similar for the Icon, GFS, and CMC
-This time the UKMET is even further W and threatens Bermuda:
