   * CMC - Developed the system early on and kept its strength, and developed it into a stronger storm later on, pretty much a hurricane ​ or strong tropical storm recurving out to sea.   * CMC - Developed the system early on and kept its strength, and developed it into a stronger storm later on, pretty much a hurricane ​ or strong tropical storm recurving out to sea.
  
-  * GFS - Sniffed out the storm from the end of its runs, but made it a very strong storm either hitting the Eastern Seaboard or recurving. It recurved on more runs than it did hit land. It changed the system to weaker a couple of days before it formed.+  * GFS - Sniffed out the storm from the end of its runs, but made it a very strong storm either hitting the Eastern Seaboard or recurving. It recurved on more runs than it did hit land. It changed the system to weaker a couple of days before it formed. Weak out to sea, or very weak into Florida.
  
   * GFS-PARA - Maintained the same track as the GFS, but stayed weak most runs except a few which it strengthened into a tropical storm.   * GFS-PARA - Maintained the same track as the GFS, but stayed weak most runs except a few which it strengthened into a tropical storm.

   * HWRF - Weak system, but relative to what the storm was pressure wise, but making it a minimal tropical storm before formation. ​   * HWRF - Weak system, but relative to what the storm was pressure wise, but making it a minimal tropical storm before formation. ​
  
-  * GFDL - Weak system.+  * GFDL - Weak system, practically dissipated
  
 +End Result: Tropical Depression 4 dissipated before impacts occurred to any region, so the ECMWF won since it kept the system relatively weak the entire time while the others blew the storm up. Unless the storm re-intensifies,​ the ECMWF takes the win. However, for finding the storm far out, the GFS gets a bit of credit for discovery. ​
