Tail End of a Cold Front

Tailend of a Cold Front

 Weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena. In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature andhumidity. There are two kinds of front: Cold Front and Warm Front.

  

The effects of a cold front passing over any area or weather station are marked by strong storms followed by clearing and dissipation of their trademark conditions in a few days, with warming being the normal result unless another cold front behind the first moves in before the moderation. While  warm fronts, on the other hand, develop when low pressure, warmer, moist air overtakes a Cold Front. Again, the warm air glides up and over the cold air mass.
