A cold front happens when a fast-moving mass of cold air hits a warm air mass. The warm air, which holds a lot of water vapour, gets pushed upward quickly. The water vapour condenses to a lot of water droplets, which form tall clouds. Eventually the weight of the drops can no longer be supported by the air, and they fall.This type of storm is often violent, accompanied by a lot of thunder and lightning, and a heavy rainfall in a short period of time. But it ends quickly. Tornados may occur.

Are tornadoes made when the hot and cold are together?
No. The description of hot and cold air coming together is based on an oversimplified scenario often given by the media. A collision of hot and cold air simply results in a front. Fronts, particularly cold fronts where cold air pushes away warm air, often result in stormy weather, but the nature of those storms depends on other conditions. In the summer cold fronts often bring thunderstorms, which may be severe. If the storms are strong enough and the winds are configured in the right way, then some of them might produce tornadoes.
