Severe weather is most likely to occur along a cold front.
A cold front is most likely to bring hail and tornadoes into an area. As the cold front advances, it forces warm, moist air to rise rapidly, creating instability that can lead to severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornado development.
A warm front typically brings warmer air into an area, which can lead to rising temperatures. It can also bring an increase in humidity and the possibility of precipitation, often in the form of rain. Additionally, warm fronts can sometimes trigger thunderstorms or other severe weather as the warm air mass displaces the colder air.
A stationary front will bring several days of cloudy, wet weather.
Cold fronts generally bring stormy weather, but the nature of those storms depends on temperature, humidity, and other factors. In cold conditions they often bring snowstorms while in warmer weather they tend to bring heavy rain showers or thunderstorms. If there is enough instability, those thunderstorms may be severe.

Tornadoes, hail and other forms of severe weather most often form ahead of cold fronts.
A stationary front can bring prolonged periods of cloudy skies, precipitation, and sometimes thunderstorms. The weather along a stationary front can be more persistent and less variable compared to other types of fronts.
Strong storms and severe weather like a Cold Front. It also brings about Cumulonimbus clouds.

You can only be certain when looking back.
A cold front is most likely to bring hail and tornadoes to an area. As a cold front advances, it forces warm, moist air to rise rapidly, leading to the development of severe thunderstorms. These conditions can create strong updrafts necessary for hail formation and can also spawn tornadoes, particularly in environments with significant wind shear. The combination of instability and lift associated with the cold front is crucial for severe weather events.
A stationary front will bring several days of cloudy, wet weather.
