Explanation
If a cold front moves in, the weather remains changeable and
there are often rain showers and thunderstorms. The air tem-
perature decreases.
A warm front may cause more prolonged steady rain, more cloud
cover and a slow rise in temperature.
The weather front moves minimally. The weather remains
changeable in this area.
An occlusion arises when the faster cold front catches up and
joins the warm front ahead of it. The weather remains change-
able and rainy within an occlusion.
