The GFS, which has received more funding than any other global model available to the public, can't even handle a 36 hour forecast with Tropical Storm Gert. What makes you think it can handle a large Western Pacific-Like Gyre in the deep Tropical Atlantic?!

So, is the City of New Orleans, in charge of the GFS?

It wasn't even handling a 0 hour forecast of Gert yesterday. Couldn't initialize it as a TC.

FYI The next name is Irma, Irene was retired after 2011.

Tonight's GFS doesn't do anything with 91L, it does develop the wave that is about to come off the coast of Africa in the next day or two but that's a really really long ways out, we should know what the Euro shows around 1:30-2 AM.
