A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving. During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/17
Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change
position,
not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the
highest pressure,
but how great (or small) the physical distance between them.
Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind)
the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
