This type of weather front is found at a homogenous warm air mass's leading edge. It is found at the isotherm gradient's equatoward edge, and is typically found in a broader trough of low pressure. This type of front moves far slower than cold fronts do. This also results in the temperature differences across, or throughout a warm front to be broader overall, in scale. As the front approaches, rainfall gradually increases, and the clouds preceding the warm front are most often stratiform. Preceding a warm frontal passage, fog can also occur. After a frontal passage, warming and clearing is typically rapid. Thunderstorms can be deposited amidst stratiform clouds preceding the front, and the thundershowers can continue after the frontal passage, if the mass of warm air is unstable.

What are the effects of a warm front?
A warm front brings rain and fog
What is the weather along a front?
its is misty and cold on A COLD FRONT AND MUGGY AND WARM ON A WARM FRONT
What is the difference between an ordinary front and an occluded front?
An occluded front is a cold front that is moving faster than a warm front. The cold front soon "catches up" to the warm warm and they merge together.
Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?
Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.
What type of storm is usually found in a cold front?
Warm and cold fronts equal Rain, but in the cold-front case this could just as easily equal Snow.
The weather most likely to be found at a stationary front is?
warm-front rain
Where does precipitation that is associated with a warm front typically arrive?
It arrives in front of the warm front
What happens when a warm front moves into a cold front?
warm front rises on top of the cold front.
What are the effects of a warm front?
A warm front brings rain and fog

An occluded front is a cold front that is moving faster than a warm front. The cold front soon "catches up" to the warm warm and they merge together.
What weather is asscociated with a warm front?
Fog can occur during a warm front.
Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?
Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.
What is an occlude front?
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.

Is there a warm front or a cold front when it is 28 degrees celsius?
Warm front; 28°C = 82.4°F
Describe the four major types of fronts?
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".
