What's the hold up?

We've been talking about a stationary front overhead for several days now. Why hasn't this frontal boundary moved out of the area yet? The reason is a very strong area of high pressure that is spinning over the Carolinas. It is acting as a bully and has put up an impenetrable fence. Until this blocking mechanism moves off of the coast our atmosphere will remain unstable due to the clashing of the warm and relatively cooler airmasses overhead. -ADAM
