No. Because of the manner in which frontal systems operate, a cold front will overtake a warm front to form an occluded front.

How do warm fronts cold fronts affect the weather?

Warm fronts give rain and clouds, cold fronts cause skies to clear , together they cause tornado's and big storms. When a warm front moves in, the cold air is pushed up. There are clouds and possibly rain, then the opposite happens when a cold front moves in. Cold fronts move under and overtake the warm mass and go underneath. This causes the skies to clear because of the rapid change in air temperature. ANOTHER ANSWER. So basically, a warm front can bring hours or days of wet weather and steady rain. A cold front can bring thunderstorms and even tornadoes. A stationary front can bring light wind and precipitation.


Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?

Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.


Describe the four major types of fronts?

1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".


What is an occlude front?

A cold front normally moves at twice the speed of a warm front. An occluded front forms when a cold front catches up with a warm front. Occluded fronts are of two types:1. Cold occlusion : If the airmass of the advancing cold front is colder than the cool airmass of the warm front, the advancing cold front undercuts and lifts both the warm and cool airmass of the warm front. The weather is initially warm front type but during the passage of front, showery weather of cold front occurs. This occlusion is common in summer. 2. Warm occlusion : When the airmass behind the advancing cold front is less colder (cool) than the cold airmass of the warm front ahead, the advancing cold front overrides the warm front ahead. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.
