How does an occluded front may form over your city and what effects it can have on the weather?

An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth's surface. The point where the warm front and the occluded front meet (and consequently the nearest location of warm air to the center of the cyclone) is called the triple point.


Where do tornadoes form a warm front or a cold front?

Tornadoes are more likely to form along a cold front, but they can occasionally form along a warm front. Many tornadoes form in an area called Larko's triangle, between a warm front and cold front.

Still other tornadoes form from tropical systems, which do not involve any sort of front.
