Answer:

Maritime tropical air masses originate over the warm waters of the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are transferred to the overlying air from the waters below. The northward movement of tropical air masses moves warm moist air into the United States, increasing the chances for precipitation.
