Odd that is sits in the middle of the gulf for 2 days just hanging out, dosent strengthen then weakens heading in.

upwelling if it did sit for 2 days?

If you're in the crosshairs by the time it forms and it's past sunday then it may be time to pucker your arse. Until it forms, these models are fantasy land. They're just giving you an idea how it might steer when it gets in the gulf but anything past 5 days isn't close to being reliable.

Personally, I ignore everything in these models after hour 120. The GFS seems pretty accurate 120 hrs out, but after that its a crap shoot.
The trick is trying to figure out why a model run is doing what it is doing.

fancy math that only a few people understand

how can we trust them?

Everyone had a good panic yet?
Ok, I'm suspicious of what the GFS is doing early on. It leads to the storm forming farther SW, not getting as hard of a pull north in the Caribbean, and then getting stuck with a ridge building back to the east and pushing it north into LA/MS.
And I'm not 100% sure the GFS is wrong, but I'm seeing a common bias show up with overconvecting/spinning shite up too fast. It pulses up downshear, which do note is something that happens, but if the GFS is doing it's convective feedback thing it would mean the model gets it too far SW in the near term.
Going to have to watch the convective pattern over the next couple of days to see if the GFS is actually right or this is it's biases leading to a short term track error.
I honestly don't know the answer at this point.
See how there are two vort maxes in the area? The NE one is the one we've been tracking, and then in the next frame it has spun up that new strong one on the SW side. That ends up getting spun up into the true center, SW of where it would otherwise be.
Definitely staying up for those ensembles.

50 pages tomorrow from the latest GFS

I would say panic as an over-reaction, but I see what you are saying as well.
With how the GFS is trending, it will be hitting Lake Charles two model days from now.
ETA: I mean shite, it moved from Ft. Walton to Barataria Bay from 18Z to 0Z

Is it just me or is the GFS an outlier in how far west it goes before making landfall?

The ensembles through 150 hrs are coming in very clustered btw Cuba and Yucatán. The spread is fairly tight.

through 156 hours out, seems like we have a split. Some east, some west.
ETA: Still east of operational

Screw it Texas needs rain just head to Brownsville.

You can see that process when you look frame-by-frame at the low position at 200mb.
It isn't as obvious on still frames, but in the second frame it jumps North. In the next it is right back South again.

Given the history of the last 17 years, I wouldn't call it panic. I see it as a perfectly reasonable reaction.

It is. It's all in that first 120 hours where it sets the table to end up that far west.
Farther to the North and it feels the powerful pull north and NE toward Florida. The GFS has it way SW early, it feels that big tug north but it's not enough to pull it NE. Ridge builds as the trough pulls away to the east, no where out.
I am skeptical of what it does early to get it that far SW, but I can't write it off yet.

What is the GFS’ track record so far this year?

I'm not in freak out mode yet (still a long ways out), but I'm really not liking the continued west shifts. We usually see the windshield wiper effect, but it's like it's stuck in the left position.
