What type of weather is associated with what type of front?

Question

warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts...

what type of weather is associated with each???

thanx

Answer 1

cold = storms, heavy rain

warm = light showers over long periods of time

stationary = sunny

occluded = mixed weather

Answer 2

you will get more severe weather weather with cold fronts. stationary means lots of rain, and maybe severe weather. Occluded means bad weather, and a warm front usually isn't as severe. bottom line is fronts = rain

Answer 3

Warm Front:

If the air mass is relatively stable, rainfall will increase until the front reaches the location, at which time the clouds can extend all the way to the earth’s surface as fog. Once the front passes, the location experiences quick warming and clearing. If the air mass is unstable thunderstorms may precede and follow the front.

Cold Front:

A cold front commonly brings a narrow band of precipitation that follows along the leading edge of the cold front. These bands of precipitation are often very strong in nature, and especially in the Spring and Summer months, can bring severe thunderstorms and/or tornadoes. In the spring, these cold fronts can be very strong, and can bring strong winds when the pressure gradient is tighter than normal.

Stationary Front:

A wide variety of weather can be found along a stationary front, but usually clouds and prolonged precipitation are found there. Stationary fronts will either dissipate after several days or devolve into shear lines, but can change into a cold or warm front if conditions aloft change.

Occluded Front:

A wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, with thunderstorms possible, but usually their passage is associated with a drying of the air mass.
