User blog:Bobnekaro/Could we get TS Alex soon?

It was brought to my attention by HurricaneOdile that the JMA model was predicting a tropical-like system on January 12th in the central/eastern Atlantic. I, anxiously awaiting the formation of Tropical Storm Alex, decided to check Tropical Tidbits out. The CMC, GFS, and ECMWF also predict a similar low, but it was the ECMWF's run that caught my eye. The Euro model is predicting a well-organized, circular, 985 mbar low to develop near the Azores on January 12. The Euro model is the most accurate of all from what I've heard, and this system looks very interesting. I hope we get TS Alex soon, but it's likely it's just a so-called "Ghost Storm" or a large extratropical cyclone. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/ecmwf/2016010512/ecmwf_z500_mslp_atl_8.png
