it starts to get cold
thunder and lightning
When a cold front hits, usually the warm air rises.
When a warm front moves into a cold front, the warm air gradually rises over the denser cold air. This can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. The warm air displaces the cold air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature and humidity.

A warm front forms.
A warm front forms.
At a cold front, warm air is forced up and over the cold air mass. This usually results in rain and possibly thunderstorms, which may be severe.
It pretty much sits still as the Warm Front passes 'overhead'. It will get pushed back/up a bit.
When a warm front and a cold front get close, the warm air rises over the denser cold air, causing it to cool quickly and condense into clouds. This interaction can lead to the formation of precipitation and potentially severe weather.
cold front
1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".
An "occlusion" forms.
