Re: 97L

Latest GFDL backs WAY off on the intensity of T.D. 18, not making it a hurricane until it is well into the Gulf. That would be good news for south Florida, though the latest solution appears a little unrealistic... the GFDL seems to lack nuance, either keeping a system as a depression or weak storm, or blowing it up into a major hurricane. The reality will likely be somewhere in between.
