EAX CWA composite for 0–3 hr prior to event time showing 500 hPa: (a) geopotential height (black, gpm) and absolute vorticity (dashed, color-filled >9 × 10−5 s−1); (b) mean geopotential height (black, gpm) and 75–25 percentile mean spread (color-filled, gpm); (c) mean absolute vorticity (black, ×10−5 s−1) and 75–25 percentile mean spread (color-filled, ×10−5 s−1). The star is located at the centroid of the CWA.
