This front forms when a weak cold air mass meets a weak warm air mass with no movement.

• cold front
• warm front
• stationary front
• occluded front

This front forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass, forcing the warm air quickly upward followed by cooler temperatures high pressure.

• cold front
• warm front
• stationary front
• occluded front

This front forms when a warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass because it is less dense.  It brings rainy weather followed by warm, humid weather.

• cold front
• warm front
• stationary front
• occluded front

This front will most likely bring a great amount of precipitation and has cool temperatures because a warm air mass is forced upwards by two cold air masses.

• cold front
• warm front
• stationary front
• occluded front

This front forms when two cold air masses force a warm air mass(es) to move upward.  A lot of precipitation results from this front.

• cold front
• warm front
• stationary front
• occluded front
