GFS vs EURO

I just did some research- there have been no updates to either model since the GFS update in 2021.

I have found over the years that while the EURO is generally considered to be more accurate, it seems to me (in my most amateur observations) that a certain model just seems to do a better job in a particular year. I remember some years ago the UKMET seemed to do extremely well; in 2020, the German ICON of all things nailed some hurricane forecasts with some decent consistency. It seems to me that last year the updated GFS sniffed out some storms and tracks before the EURO jumped on board. Myself, I look at both and look for patterns.

For instance, as you recall about two weeks ago the GFS was sniffing out a major hurricane to strike SE LA on May 26th. Then it delayed that landfall until May 28th for various other locations. Then it backed off all of those solutions altogether. All the while, the EURO never sniffed out anything.

Now if you look ahead to next week, the remnants of TS Agatha are forecast by both to cross over in the BOC, so that's something I'll watch simply out of curiosity. I myself look for patterns in both models.
