When two fronts collide that have about the same temperature, wind might develop. When two fronts collide that have different temperatures, it can lead to a rain storm and sometimes tornadoes.

When fronts meet from the opposite and collide, it is called an occluded front. A cold occluded front is cold air shoving under cool air at the Earth's surface thus the name 'cold occlusion'. The cold warm air boundary aloft is often west of the surface front. A warm occlusion is when cool air rises over cold air at the surface thus the name 'warm occlusion'. The warm-cold air boundary aloft is often east of the surface front. There are also squall lines and more in different collisions.

What are fronts in weather?

when two air masses of opposing temperatures collide. usually this forms precipitation.


When two fronts collide what happens?

One rides over the other to form an occluded front.


What do tornadoes form along?

Tornadoes often, though not always, form along weather fronts, where air masses of differing characteristics collide. The fronts that most commonly produce tornadoes are cold fronts and dry lines.


Does it snows in temperate climate?

Yes, and often does, when Arctic cold fronts collide with warm, moisture laden air.


Does a storm front need a storm?

Storms are usually associated with fronts, especially in warm weather, with cold air fronts collide with warm air, and the upheaval of air produces thunderstorms in advance of the front.


Are warm fronts associated with clouds and rain?

Not Normally, usually when warm fronts heat the air up, when cold fronts come around, that is the front that normally is associated with clouds and rain. When warm and cold air collide, that's when the development of storms come around.

Why does lightning strike when it's raining?

Lightning comes when two weather "fronts" come together and moisture particles collide. Rain = moisture in one of those fronts, hence, lightning and rain are often together.


Can tornadoes happen here?

It depends on where you are. If you live in an area where air fronts of different temperatures collide frequently, then you might experience some tornadoes. Watch the weather!


Why does lightning occur only when it's raining?

Lightning comes when two weather "fronts" come together and moisture particles collide. Rain = moisture in one of those fronts, hence, lightning and rain are often together. Lightning does occur even when it is not raining. ==Answered By: whatrukidding==
