This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Stationary Fronts, Little movement (less than 5 knots) hence are really Quasi-stationary fronts, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region can Last 4-5 days, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region defined as having Little movement (less than 5 knots), Positive vorticity coming eastward from the Texas coast leads to the formation of Closed low pressure center, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region more likely to occur in Summer, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region typically involve Clear to partly cloudy weather, Lifting mechanism can lead to the development of Severe weather, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region have Air masses that are poorly defined, Perturbations (short wave troughs) at 500 - 700 millibars can interact with Positive vorticity coming eastward from the Texas coast, Closed low pressure center that travels eastward along the Front, Modification of air masses i.e., Continental Polar air mass and Modified Tropical air mass, Fog is caused by Warm moist air advecting over cold surface air, Lifting mechanism with Gulf providing moisture, Closed low pressure center trigger Severe weather, Trailing (western) end of a cold front associated with Modification of air masses, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region can give rise to Severe weather, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region can give rise to Lifting mechanism, Widespread cloudiness can influence Ceiling and visibility, Stable weather including Drizzle, Air masses that are poorly defined because of Modification of air masses
