What form along fronts?

Along fronts low pressure systems form. Depending on what type of front it is, the air pressure will drastically increase or decrease. Because the front is the edge of an incoming air mass, precipitation occurs often ahead of the front. Fronts of incoming air masses are subject to prevailing winds, and are influenced in direction. Often, clouds form along fronts, which is why when a front has passed in there has been rain, or snow, or any other form of precipitation.
