 ===== Which Model Won? ===== ===== Which Model Won? =====
-  * ECMWF - Early on expected no storm to form, but became aware of a weak system ​a couple of days before formation. North of the Islandsthen into Florida very weak.+  * ECMWF - Suppressed the system ​too muchnever developing it into anything.
  
-  * CMC - Developed ​the system early on and kept its strengthand developed ​it into a stronger storm later onpretty ​much a hurricane ​ or strong tropical storm recurving out to sea.+  * CMC - Saw the stormbut not before the GFS-PARA. Developed ​it slightlybut not much.
  
-  * 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 - Saw the storm, but made it way too strong.
  
-  * GFS-PARA - Maintained the same track as the GFSbut stayed weak most runs except a few which it strengthened into a tropical storm.+  * GFS-PARA - Correct on intensitythough late on finding ​it.
  
   * NAVGEM - Weak system the whole time, but took the storm south of the Islands instead of north.   * NAVGEM - Weak system the whole time, but took the storm south of the Islands instead of north.
  
-  * UKMET - Weak system either south of the Islands or north of them. Changed to strengthen the storm close to Florida, then more in the Gulf after crossing.+  * UKMET - N/A
  
-  * HWRF - Weak system, but relative to what the storm was pressure wise, but making it a minimal tropical storm before formation+  * HWRF - Too strong
  
-  * GFDL Weak systempractically dissipated+  * HMON-PARA - Too strong as well. 
 + 
 +End Result: Though the GFS found Don first with the CMC trailing behind it, it failed in overblowing intensity, while the ECMWF suppressed the storm too much. The HMON, HWRF and its new PARA did as well. However, the GFS-PARA kept intensity low enoughbut high enough to take the win.
  
-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. ​
