A cold frontal zone, more commonly called a cold front, is a weather feature in which a cooler air mass pushes into and displaces a warmer one. Since the cooler air mass is denser it forces the warmer one upwards. Depending on conditions, a cold front may produce rain, snow, or thunderstorm, some of which may be severe. The air masses don't need to be warm and cold, but simply need to have notably different temperatures. For example a relatively cold air mass can be replaced by a colder one e.g. temperatures go from the 40s to the 20s), or a hot air mass may be replaced by one that is simply warm (e.g. temperatures drop from the 90s to the 70s).
