This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Cold Fronts, Be slow- moving with Winds that are more parallel across the front at 700 mb, Cold Fronts in the Gulf Coast (seasonal factors) are primarily an aspect of Gulf Region winter weather, Gulf Region winter weather involves More southerly migration of the Polar jet, Transition to stationary fronts because of Modification of Continental Polar air by the Maritime air, Warm air advection from over the Gulf is driven by Sustained onshore boundary layer winds, Fast-moving in the winter can cause Severe weather of short duration, Gulf Region winter weather involves Advection fog, Warm air advection from over the Gulf occurs during the Daytime, Advection fog is caused by Warm air advection from over the Gulf, "Inactive" front involves Severe weather of short duration, Fast-moving in the winter have Winds that are more perpendicular across the front at 700 mb, Freezing temperatures after frontal passage caused by Greater temperature difference between air masses, Fast-moving in the winter can cause Advection fog, Cold Fronts in the Gulf Coast (seasonal factors) are more likely to be Fast-moving in the winter, Cold Fronts in the Gulf Coast (seasonal factors) can be Summertime cold front, Summertime cold front tend to not cause Severe weather, Warm air advection from over the Gulf follows Passage of the cold front, Fast-moving in the winter have Narrow front (steep slope, e.g., 100 miles thick), Be slow- moving with Broad front (shallow slope, e.g., 300 miles thick), Summertime cold front more likely to Be slow- moving
