Continental Tropical : These are the hot, dry air masses which originate over northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. This air mass enters the United States through New Mexico, Arizona and western Texas and frequently moves eastward to northeastward bringing hot, dry air to Texas.
Fronts are the boundaries between air masses of different temperature. If warm air is moving toward cold air, it is a warm front. These are shown on weather maps as a red line with scallops on it. If cold air is moving toward warm air, then it is a cold front.Cold fronts are always shown as a blue line with arrow points on it. If neither air mass is moving very much, it is called a stationary front, shown as an alternating red and blue line.INTER FRONTS ARE THE STRONGEST: As cold air masses develop over Asia and North America in the wintertime, the strongest fronts occur when these cold air masses move toward the warmer, oceanic air masses that surround the continents.
