Fronts and severe weather lecture 22.3

Fronts and severe weather lecture 22.3 . Fronts. A front is where masses of air collide. Stationary front. Cold and warm air meet They move side by side along the front. Warm front. Warm air moves up over cold Air cools, forms clouds (cirrus, cumulus) Later, nimbostratus and steady rain.
