Tony Perry. San Diego council votes along party lines to increase minimum wage to $11.50 an hour by 2017. On a strict party-line vote, the San Diego City Council has voted to raise the local minimum wage -- possibly setting up another fight with the business establishment. The six Democrats on the council voted in favor, the three Republicans against.
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.
The sloping of warm air over the cold air leads to a forced uplifting (frontal lifting) of the warm air if one air mass is moving toward the other. In turn, this uplifting causes condensation to occur and the possibility of precipitation along the frontal boundary. Frontal zones where the air masses are not moving against each other are called stationary fronts. In transitional areas where there is some air mass movement, cold or warm fronts can develop. Figure 7r-2 illustrates a vertical cross-section of a cold front.
