When a cold front passes, it typically brings a sudden drop in temperature and shifts in wind direction. The weather associated with a cold front often includes increased cloudiness, precipitation, and sometimes severe storms, such as thunderstorms. After the front moves through, conditions usually clear up, resulting in cooler and drier air.
A cold front typically causes the most violent weather as it occurs when cold air advances and displaces warm air, resulting in strong thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail, and sometimes tornadoes. The rapid lifting of warm air along a cold front creates instability in the atmosphere, leading to severe weather.
A cold front.
Thunderstorms would usually follow a cold front because the warm air rises and condenses into clouds. As well as big thunderstorms, in the winter when you have a cold front, you have a giant snowfall.
Precipitation, usually in the form of rain, is a common reaction of a cold front when it meets a hot environment.
Weather. When a warm moist front clashes with a cold dry front, it usually rains (or snows in winter).
Cold fronts tend to effect the eastern states more than the western states. However, California can get cooler weather when a cold front occurs which can effect fishing.
Warm air is air that has a relatively high temperature. A cold front is a weather phenomenon that occurs when an cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one and displaces it.

A Cold Front has Cold Air, that means you can expect a Temperature drop from this front. Most of the time, when a Cold Front passes over warm areas, you can expect storms to pop up along this front.A cold front will usually bring cooler weather with a sharp change in wind direction and clearing skies.
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.
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.
