EAX CWA composite for 0–3 hr prior to event time showing 850 hPa: (a) equivalent potential temperature advection [color-filled, K (3 hr−1)] and 2 m equivalent potential temperature (brown, K); (b) mean θe advection [black, K (3 hr−1)] and 75–25 percentile mean spread [color-filled, K (3 hr−1)]; (c) mean 2 m θe (black, K) and 75–25 percentile mean spread (color-filled, K). The star is located at the centroid of the CWA.
