What is a warm front

• a front where a warm air mass is caught between two colder air masses and brings cool temperatures and large amounts of rain and snow

• front when cold air moves under warm air which is less dense and pushes air up (produces thunderstorms heavy rain or snow)

• a front where warm air moves over cold air and brings drizzly rain and then are followed by warm and clear weather

• a boundary that separates a moist air mass from a dry air mass

What is a stationary Front?

• unstable cold, moist air mass that forms over cold oceans--

  Winter and Summer- cold and humid

• very cold, very dry stable air mass

• unstable, warm, dry air mass that forms over land

  Winter - warm and dry

  Summer - Hot and dry

• A boundary between air masses that don't move possibly causing rain for several days

What is an air mass?

• When any two air masses meet. The four major types are cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts.

What is a maritime polar (mP) air mass?

• unstable cold, moist air mass that forms over cold oceans--

  Winter and Summer- cold and humid

• Wet and warm air mass

• hot and humid air mass that originates from the ocean region straddling the equator.

• very cold, very dry stable air mass
