(1) 850 hPa smoothed (N=20) temperature (dashed contours every 2oC), smoothed (N=5) nondivergent wind (barbs in knots), resultant deformation (black contours in 10-5 s-1), and frontogenesis [K (100 km)-1 (3 h)-1].
(2) 850 hPa smoothed (N=10) relative vorticity (shaded in 10-5 s-1) and nondivergent wind (barbs in knots).
(3) CAPE (shaded in J kg-1), SLP (hPa), 10-m vector wind (barbs in knots), and 1-h precipitation (thin black contours at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 mm).

Forecasts are from the NSSL MPAS model also available here. Output variables are interpolated to a 0.1x0.1 degree latitude-longitude grid.
Select variables are smoothed with a 9-point local smoother run N times.
