Is GFS trolling us already this "season?" Look what has turned up in at least one run in the last 24 hours:
Yes, that is what looks like a tropical cyclone in the NW Caribbean on May 26th. Will we get off to an early start this year, or is GFS already out to lunch?
UPDATE:
GFS is starting to be more consistent in developing something in the Caribbean in late May. And it starting to zero in on the SW Floida Peninsula. Here is the last frame of the 6Z 05/12 run:

Flash flood warning for St. John the Baptist and St Charles Parish!
Tangipahoa Parish says MEMA told them that dam breach is imminent. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said an intentional breach will be made between 2-3 p.m. to alleviate pressure. The dam is in imminent danger of failing, which could send 17 feet of water to Kentwood within 90 minutes, Jindal said, in a press briefing....

WHAT
A tropical wave that is located in the NW Bahamas, is labeled 91L early in the afternoon on Friday.
WHERE
The center appears to be east of andros island
ANALYSIS
With at least 24 hours over water, and decent shear indecies, this area must be watched for further development, either way, expect heavy rain, gusty winds, and a chance of tornadic activity in South Florida today, tommorow, and sunday.
...
Invest 99L developed into Tropical Depression #5 yesterday, and has maintained about the same intensity since then. Thunderstorm activity partially covers the center, but is still clearly being limited by wind shear being imposed on the northern side of the circulation by an upper low over the central Atlantic. This wind shear will continue to be a moderate issue for TD 5 over the next few days as the upper trough expands westward a bit to the north of the big Caribbean islands, following TD ...
Key West 2005 Post-Wilma Pictures Featured
We visited Key West shortly after Hurricane Wilma bulldozed her way through, leaving large numbers of cars flooded, some still with signs in the windows meant to let tow truck operators know they were submerged and need to be removed. LOTS of tree debris and damage around. What a mess!...
Spoke to my cousin in The live Oak area and have pictures of the flooding they are dealing with!
It is a mess down here. Roads are closed everywhere and people are stuck in between. Bill (her husband) is on his way here now from Gainesville. My office in Lake City is closed now that the county emergency management has closed Columbia County. Suwannee County where I live has the Suwannee River on three sides of the county. It is going to be a bigger mess as the rain is not stopping for a few ...
Debby continues to meander slowly in the NE Gulf of Mexico this morning, and is currently drifting ENE. Convection has waned throughout the core, a function both of the continued wind shear that was talked about yesterday and cold upwelling of the ocean due to Debby’s stalling for so long in the same area. She has weakened since yesterday and now has only 50mph winds, though rains on the eastern side continue to affect Florida, where flooding has been a problem. Florida will continue to re...
The plot thickens this morning as Debby drifts slowly northeastward in the NE Gulf of Mexico, bringing tropical storm conditions the Florida panhandle. Debby still has an exposed center due to southwesterly wind shear, though the circulation has become better-defined overnight. Winds are around 60mph, a strong tropical storm, and Florida will be dealing with heavy rains and strong winds for the next couple of days regardless of Debby’s track. If Debby moves NE into the Florida coastline durin...
Tropical Storm Debby has been named by the National Hurricane Center this afternoon after hurricane hunters investigated Invest 96L and found a solid closed circulation, with maximum winds of 50mph and gusts up to 65mph. All interests along the Gulf of Mexico coast should closely monitor this system.
Debby is drifting north at 5mph. The storm has brought heavy rains to Western Cuba, South Florida, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula over the past two days, but the disturbance's heaviest rains are lo...
Debby Likely to Form Today Featured
We are still watching invest 96L in the central Gulf of Mexico for development into Tropical Storm Debby, which should occur sometime later today. A recon plane is currently investigating 96L to see if the circulation has become defined enough to call it a tropical storm. You can follow live recon data on my recon plotting page throughout the next few days. The center of 96L is still exposed as convection is being sheared to the east by an upper low in the NW gulf. However, this upper low wil...

Invest 96L, what promises to be one of the greatest forecasting challenges this season, continues to slowly organize north of the Yucatan Peninsula this morning. The only significant batch of convection associated with it is removed east of the center over the Yucatan Channel. A new lobe of low pressure will likely develop within the broader circulation close to this area of convection and move northward during the next 24-36 hours, event...

Study: 97% Agreement on Manmade Global Warming
The scientific agreement that climate change is happening, and that it's caused by human activity, is significant and growing, according to a new study published Thursday. The research, which is the most comprehensive analysis of climate research to date, found that 97.1% of the studies published between 1991 to 2011 that expressed a position on manmade climate change agreed that it was happening, and that it was due...
