The gulf system itself doesn't come up but you can see on the 500 MB maps it interact with the clipper a lot, that's certainly an interesting new development.

just need a little sharper ridge

You would think there would be a sharper ridge with that 1041mb high sitting there.

Prediction: based on the GEFS mean 850's/qpf, you're going to like what some of the members show for 1/29-31. Mean qpf of note is significantly further north than prior GEFS runs for that period while mean 850's aren't warmer. I bet there are going to be some interesting members shown when they're released. That's the benefit of the mean trough being centered further west near the Mississippi Valley.

Not just the ridge out west will help sharpen the ridge...the ridge out in the Atlantic also plays a role. It does bulge to the north and west making that trough dig deeper.

The 12z CMC has a sharper ridge. I think it's going to start to get interesting over the next few days.
