700 mb heights, temperature and deformation

Notes:

At 700 mb, low pressure was forecast to deepen rapidly, especially between 18z on the 25th through 06z on the 26th. Deformation was forecast to increase significantly north and west of the low pressure center during that time as well. The deformation was juxtaposed with a strong east-west temperature gradient, implying strong frontogenesis.
