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:

The main feature of interest in the Atlantic continues to be Invest 99L east of the Antilles islands The system has gradually become better organized over the last couple of days, with moderate-deep convection persisting over a developing area of surface low pressure. This convection is not yet well-organized, however, and 99L is still largely attached to the ITCZ, and it will need to detach from this in order to close off its own surface circulation. This could happen within the next day or two...
