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.
Considering occlusion occurs near the center of a mid-latitude cyclone that has matured, the weather would be very unsettled with rain/snow likely and maybe thunderstorms as well, potentially over a prolonged period.Glad I could help! :)
it is not a standard weather front
An occluded front typically brings a mix of both cold and warm air masses, resulting in variable weather conditions. Depending on the characteristics of the air masses involved, an occluded front may bring both precipitation and cloudy skies, rather than cold and dry weather.
The color of an occluded front on a weather map is typically represented by a combination of purple and blue lines with alternating triangles and semicircles. This indicates the merging of a cold front and a warm front, creating complex weather conditions.
An occluded front occurs when a fast-moving cold front overtakes a slower-moving warm front, leading to the warm air being lifted and squeezed aloft, creating a mix of weather conditions such as rain, snow, and thunderstorms.
An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth's surface. The point where the warm front and the occluded front meet (and consequently the nearest location of warm air to the center of the cyclone) is called the triple point.

The weather before an occluded front tends to be cold and wet. After the front, the temperature may warm or cool, but the air becomes dry.
Before an occluded front, you may experience warm temperatures and possibly thunderstorms as warm air is lifted ahead of the front. After an occluded front passes, you can expect cooler temperatures, clearing skies, and a decrease in precipitation as the occluded front brings cooler air mass to the region.
An occluded front would bring colder weather. This type of front occurs when a cold front and warm front meet up with one another. The result is the cold air is pushed down.
yes: occluded fronts cause the weather to turn cloudy and rainy or snowy

At an occluded front, rain or snow can fall. Hope this helps. =)
An occluded front on a weather map is represented by a purple line with alternating triangles and half circles pointing in the direction of movement. This indicates that a cold front has caught up with a warm front, forcing the warm air aloft. This usually signifies unstable weather conditions.
