Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Prefrontal (warm front) fogs occur in stable continental polar (cP) air masses when precipitating warm air overrides the colder air. The rain raises the dewpoint in the cP air mass sufficiently for fog formation. Generally, the wind speeds are light, and the area most conducive to the formation of this type of fog is one between a nearby secondary low and the primary low-pressure center. The northeastern area of the United States is probably the most prevalent region for this type of fog. Prefrontal fog is also of importance along the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains, the Midwest, and in the valleys of the Appalachians. 2, record 1, English, - pre%2Dfrontal%20fog
