The upper level pattern was dominated by a ridge over the Southeastern States and eastern Gulf of Mexico while a longwave trough was centered along the West Coast. Being on the western edge of the surface high pressure, the region was continually being fed by the warm and moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico. At the surface, this was delineated by a weak quasi-stationary boundary that roughly extended from the lee of the Rockies into the Southern Plains across the Mid-Mississippi Valley into the Northeastern states. ![]() ![]() The region was located between an exceptionally warm air mass over the Southeastern States and an unseasonably cool air mass located over the Northern Plains States. ![]()
