A cold front normally moves at twice the speed of a warm front. An occluded front forms when a cold front catches up with a warm front. Occluded fronts are of two types:
1. Cold occlusion : If the airmass of the advancing cold front is colder than the cool airmass of the warm front, the advancing cold front undercuts and lifts both the warm and cool airmass of the warm front. The weather is initially warm front type but during the passage of front, showery weather of cold front occurs. This occlusion is common in summer.
2. Warm occlusion : When the airmass behind the advancing cold front is less colder (cool) than the cold airmass of the warm front ahead, the advancing cold front overrides the warm front ahead. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.
Considering occlusion occurs near the center of a mid-latitude cyclone that has matured, the weather would be very unsettled with rain/snow likely and maybe thunderstorms as well, potentially over a prolonged period.Glad I could help! :)

It brings cool temperatures and heavy amounts of rain and snow.

An occluded front would bring colder weather. This type of front occurs when a cold front and warm front meet up with one another. The result is the cold air is pushed down.
An occulded front causes precipitation or just a light rain.
A warm air mass is trapped between a cool air mass and a cold air mass. The warm air is cut off from the surface. This leads to heavy rain.

it is not a standard weather front
It is usually better to avoid flying into an occluded front due to the associated weather patterns.
from the atmosphere
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.
it goes up your butt
The weather before an occluded front is usually warm and humid. After an occluded front, the air is typically drier and cooler.
it is not a standard weather front
An occluded front is represented by a pattern of blue triangles and red circles.

No. Clouds can occur along occluded fronts but they can occur along any type of front or without any large scale weather patter.
yes: occluded fronts cause the weather to turn cloudy and rainy or snowy

The weather before an occluded front tends to be cold and wet. After the front, the temperature may warm or cool, but the air becomes dry.
