This can also be seen by comparing precipitable water anomalies. The EPS and GEFS are in good agreement on a large/deep moist pouch around the tropical wave. This gives me more confidence that the strong GEFS signal for developing this system into a TC is likely not a "phantom". pic.twitter.com/GdnOscHFCp
