Best Answer

A cold front is defined as the leading edge of a cooler mass of air, replacing at ground level, a warmer mass of air which lies within a fairly sharp surface trough of low pressure.

The cooler and denser air wedges under the less-dense warmer air, lifting it and if the warm air is moist enough causes the formation of a narrow line of showers and thunderstorms.

Where do tornadoes form a warm front or a cold front?

Tornadoes are more likely to form along a cold front, but they can occasionally form along a warm front. Many tornadoes form in an area called Larko's triangle, between a warm front and cold front. Some tornadoes form along a dry line, and in fact a try line can be more proficient at producing tornadoes than a cold front. Still other tornadoes form from tropical systems, which do not involve any sort of front.
