Weather in the Northeastern U.S.

A top story from weather.com today talks about the bad weather in the Northeast. The story says the storm moved from the South and midwest. The south had experienced thunderstorms and tornadoes while the midwest experienced moderate winds. This storm will cause rain and moderate winds in the Northeast. I think the example of tornados in the South is a good example of the mixing of northern cold, dry air with warm, moist air from the south. As we discussed in class, this causes tornadoes. The movement of the storm is an example of how wind and air pressure moves "weather". This storm and its movement exhibits the lifting mechanism of frontal lifting I believe because it is a fairly fast moving front associated with severe weather.
