at 216 hrs drifting north to the west of Bermuda. Yes, I see that thing in the Gulf but I refuse to believe it at the 216 hour low resolution portion of the GFS run. Bertha exists, that puppy the GFS shows in the Gulf does not. so far. No point going further. We have reached the "mostly fiction" portion of the GFS run.
