4. SLOPE OF A COLD FRONT 1 MILE 50 MILES
The slope of the front is very steep (1 in 50)
Narrow weather band
Can be very severe
1 MILE

5. Cold Front
Clouds and weather
clouds of vertical development
showers
winds veer
temperature decreases behind front
Fast moving cold fronts may produce severe thunderstorms and/or squall lines

15. Warm Front Clouds and weather stratus clouds steady precipitation
winds veer
temperature rises behind front
thunderstorms may be embedded in the stratus clouds
in winter, ice pellets and freezing rain may develop

16. Sequence of clouds indicating the approach of warm front are:
C cirrus C cirrostratus A altostratus N nimbostratus S stratus

A TRough Of Warm air ALoft
A cold front overtakes a warm front and lifts the warm air off the ground.
Clouds and weather
combination of both warm front and cold front weather.

25. Meteorology Air Masses Congratulations!!
You have now completed the Front lesson of the Meteorology Module. Of course, this lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.
You are now ready to move along to the next Meteorology lesson you have not completed or to any other module you wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to challenge the final exam.
Good Luck!
