a warm front
It depends on which air mass replaces which in the area. If a cold air mass advances and pushes a warm air mass away, the result is a cold front. When a cold air mass retreats and is replaced by a warm air mass, the result is a warm front. When the two air masses meet and neither advances, the result is a stationary front.

Stationary Front
A front forms. The type of front depends on which air mass is advancing. If the cool air mass advances, it is a cold front. If a warm air mass advances, it is a warm front. If neither advances, it is a stationary front.
a cold front
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.

a warm front
A stationary front occurs when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet but remain in place, leading to prolonged periods of rain or other forms of precipitation.
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.
A cold front as this causes a lot of rain in a short period of time. A warm front causes light rain for days at a time.
An occluded front.
A cold front is a boundary where a colder air mass displaces a warmer air mass. As the cold front moves in, it can bring cooler temperatures, strong winds, and precipitation, often leading to thunderstorms, heavy rain, or snow.
