EAX CWA composite for 0–3 hr prior to event time showing (a) most unstable CAPE (color-filled, J kg−1) and index (purple); (b) mean index (black) and 75–25 percentile mean spread (color-filled); (c) mean most unstable CAPE (black, J kg−1) and 75–25 percentile mean spread (color-filled, J kg−1); (d) regional spaghetti plot of the Index = 40 contour from each composite member (each is a different color). The star is located at the centroid of the CWA.
