A cold front.
A warm front forms when a warm air mass advances over a cold air mass, leading to the warm air gradually replacing the cold air. This process often results in steady, prolonged precipitation as the warm air rises over the denser, cooler air.
A cold front forms when a cold air mass moves into and displaces a warm air mass. As the dense cold air pushes the warm air up, it creates a boundary known as a cold front. This usually leads to showers and thunderstorms along the front.
The cloud that forms along the leading edge of a gust front is called a shelf cloud. It is a wedge-shaped cloud that signifies the boundary between cool air from a thunderstorm downdraft and the warm air ahead of the storm. Shelf clouds can appear ominous but they usually do not produce severe weather on their own.
Precipitation usually comes before or during the passage of a cold front.
Warm fronts are typically associated with overcast skies and rain or snow showers. Showers that come with warm fronts are usually relatively light, but heavy showers and thunderstorms can occasionally occur.

No. When a cold front meets a warm front you get an occluded front. A simple cold front is more likely to produce severe weather than an occluded front is. This is a common source of confusion as a colf front is what forms when coooler air pushes into warmer air. Tornadoes are often associated with cold fronts, but the front is not the direct cause. When a cold front moves through and there is enough instanility ahead of it, thunderstorms can form, but only when a number of other conditions are present can these storms produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes, hail and other forms of severe weather most often form ahead of cold fronts.
When a warm air mass pushes against a cold air mass, it can form a warm front. This is characterized by the warm air rising over the denser cold air, leading to a gradual transition in weather conditions as the warm air replaces the cold air.
warm front
This is typically a cold front. As the cold air mass moves under the warm air mass, it pushes the warm air upwards, where it condensates and creates precipitation.
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.
