Just bizzare looking. There's some energy on the backside that really broadens the trough. There's enough amplification ahead of the main energy that gets the coastal to actually come up the coast a bit. Still have time to see some phasing with those energies because by 120 the backside energy is actually gaining and if those two phase we can see the 500mb low amplify and get a nice coastal. The southern stream energy pretty much dissipates, but it appears we can still get a pretty nice storm with the energy in the Plains.

its coming around....would be a mod event verbatim.

there seems to be two attempts at phasing, one early...then again as it gets to the coast but its marginal. looking at 500mb 0z GFS, hr 54 hr 60 theres a partial phase but the northern stream kicks or pinwheels the southern stream ahead. hr 84 the southern wave is gone...then the northern wave just kinda settles down over the rockies and gains energy. then by hr 102 hr 108, it kinda flattens out as it slowly moves E. the problem then is from hr 114-126, Canada is flat....almost seems it was shut off. tiny pieces try to eject down from the GL, but its not enough. we get a decent event, qpf maps do show a common head, albeit weak but much better than 18z and 12z thur.

basically the gfs has lgt to occasionally mod precip over the area for over 40 hrs....

Well, that rarely happens in the winter in our area. My (weenie) hunch is energy will become more focused in a single event, but the GFS is having a hard time figuring out which piece of energy to focus on ... hence the long duration event. Plenty of time to hammer out the details.
