high winds and cold weather

A cold front.
Prior to the passage of a cold front, atmospheric pressure tends to decrease steadily as the front approaches. After the cold front passes, the atmospheric pressure typically rises quickly as cooler, denser air moves in behind the front.
On a weather map, the symbol for a cold front is a blue line with blue triangles facing the direction that the front is moving.
A cold front.
A cold front is most likely to produce thunderstorms and tornadoes. As the cold front pushes into warm, moist air, it can produce an unstable atmosphere that is conducive to the development of severe weather such as thunderstorms and tornadoes.
A cold front typically brings cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and a shift in weather conditions. It often causes the air to become less humid, leading to clearer skies and a decrease in precipitation. Thunderstorms and severe weather can also be associated with the passage of a cold front.
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.
The type of front which will lead to turbulent air and precipitation is a cold front. When warm cold air collides with warm air, it will generally produce severe weather.
A warm front behind a cold front, brings pleasant sunshine, possible some gentle rains.
A weather front can be a cold front, a warm front or an occlusion.

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.

A cold front.
An occluded front is when a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.1. Cold occluson : 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 comon in summers. 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 aheaad. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.
