Why do warm fronts make storms?

A warm front occurs when a warm air mass advances as a cold air mass retreats. As these air masses collide the warm air mass, which is less dense, is forced upward by the cooler air mass. As this happens the air mass cools and the moisture in int condense, forming clouds, precipitation, and sometimes thunderstorms. In many cases warm fronts are associated with rain showers (or snow flurries in the winter). Thunderstorms are more common along cold fronts.
