Cold Front transition zone from warm air to cold air
A cold front is defined as the transition zone where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass. Cold fronts generally move from northwest to southeast.
Cold front Any non-occluded front that moves in such a way so that colder air replaces warmer air; the "leading edge" of a relatively cold air mass.
2. Cold Fronts may be divided into 2 types: Fast moving and slow moving.
4. A fast moving Cold Front may move along at 50 to 60+ mph.
5. Cold Fronts usually move faster in winter than summer.
Cold fronts
A cold front is the delineation between cold polar air moving towards the equator and undercutting warm tropical air moving poleward. The temperature differences across a cold front can be extreme and associated with strong winds.
Cold Front-The discontinuity at the forward edge of and advancing cold air mass that is displacing a warmer and often higher in moisture air mass.
COLD FRONT: The boundary between a cold air mass that is advancing and a relatively warmer airmass. Generally characterized by steady precipitation followed by showery precipitation.
COMBINED SEAS: The combined height of swell and wind waves.
cold front: when a colder, higher pressure air mass moves so that cold air replaces warmer air. Storm activity is often associated with the moving in of a cold front.
Cold Front - A zone separating two air masses, of which the cooler, denser mass is advancing and replacing the warmer.
Cold front
A moving boundary that separates cooler air from warmer air. A cold front is named as such because the cold air is advancing on the warm air.
Cold Front- the leading edge of a cold air mass as it moves toward warmer air; its movement is characterized by a drop in temperature and humidity after the front passes.
Cold Front - an advancing edge of a cold air mass
Cold Pool - a region of relatively cold air, represented on a weather map analysis as a relative minimum in temperature surrounded by closed isotherms.

Cold front A narrow zone of transition between relatively cold, dense air that is advancing and relatively warm, less dense air that is retreating.
COLD FRONT The leading edge of an advancing cold air mass that is under running and displacing the warmer air in its path.
Cold front A transition zone where a cold air mass advances and replaces a warm air mass.
Cold occlusion See Occluded front.
cold front—Any non-occluded front which moves in such a way that colder air replaces warmer air.
condensation—See change of state.
cold front - Any nonoccluded front, or portion thereof, that moves so that the colder air replaces the warmer air; that is, the leading edge of a relatively cold air mass. Compare cold type occlusion.
Cold Front The leading edge of a relatively colder airmass which separates two air masses in which the gradients of temperature and moisture are maximized.
Cold Front- A narrow transition zone separating advancing colder air from retreating warmer air. The air behind a cold front is cooler and typically drier than the air it is replacing.
Cold Front - The transition zone where a colder air mass overtakes and replaces a warmer air mass.
Pseudo-Cold Front - A boundary between a supercell's inflow region and the rear-flank downdraft (or RFD).
Cold front: cold fronts occur when a colder air mass approaches a warmer air mass. The colder air, being denser, cuts a wedge under the less dense warmer air, lifting it and finally overtaking it. Cold fronts move rapidly.
Cold Front: Front whose movement is such that a mass of colder air replaces a warmer one. The passage of a cold front is normally characterized on the surface of the Earth by a fall in temperature and a change in the direction of the wind.
COLD FRONT: The front edge of a cold air mass. It often produces precipitation and, frequently, severe weather.
CONDENSATION: The process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
Cold front
A boundary separating cold and warm air masses at which the cold air is advancing.

Cold Front- The leading edge of a colder mass of air that displaces a warmer mass of air.
Condensation- The change of vapor to liquid.
Condensation Nuclei- Small particles in the air around which water vapor condenses.
COLD FRONT - An advancing mass of cold air. The boundary formed by two air masses where cold air is replacing warmer air.
CONDENSATION - A change of state of water from a gas (water vapor) to a liquid.
Cold Front - A boundary between two air masses, one cold and the other warm, moving so that the colder air replaces the warmer air.
Condensation - The change of water vapor to liquid water, as when fog or dew forms.
Cold Front - a front where the colder air is advancing and the warm air is retreating
Warm Front - a front where the warmer air is advancing and the cold air is retreating
Stationary Front - one where nobody seems to be making any progress ...
Cold Front - The leading edge of a cooler airmass.
Cold-air Funnel - A funnel cloud or (rarely) a small, relatively weak tornado that can develop from a small shower or thunderstorm when the air aloft is unusually cold (hence the name).
A cold front moving south or southwest along the Atlantic seaboard and Great Lakes; these are especially common during the spring months.

Back Door Cold Front: A cold front moving south or southwest along the Atlantic seaboard and Great Lakes.
Backflow: The backing up of water through a conduit or channel in the direction opposite to normal flow.
They are often along and behind cold fronts and gust fronts, being associated with cool moist air, such as an outflow from a thunderstorm. When observed from a distance, they are sometimes mistaken for tornadoes.
CFCChlorofluorocarbonCFPCold Front PassageCFSIn hydrologic terms, Cubic Feet per Second - the flow rate or discharge equal to one cubic foot (of water, usually) per second. This rate is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons per second.
This front will separate air behind the cold front from air ahead of the warm front. This is a common process in the late stages of wave-cyclone development, but is not limited to occurrence within a wave cyclone.
A cold front occurs when a cold air mass moves into an area occupied by a warmer air mass. Moving at an average speed of about 20 mph, the heavier cold air moves in a wedge shape along the ground.
Fronts are also identified: a 'classical' depression appearing in the western North Atlantic, with an identifier 'A', will have its warm front labelled 'A', and its cold front 'B'.
occluded frontA composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front.
It is associated with a linear type mesoscale convective system that moves along and in advance of a cold front or dry line.
A storm-scale or mesoscale boundary separating thunderstorm-cooled air (outflow) from the surrounding air; similar in effect to a cold front, with passage marked by a wind shift and usually a drop in temperature.
A low, horizontal tube-shaped arcus cloud associated with a thunderstorm gust front (or a cold front).
This sometimes happens when a cold front overtakes a warm front (forming an occluded front), lifting the warmer air away from the surface. It is usually relatively short-lived, but shows up as an unusual layer of warm air on an upper air soundiing.
*Shelf Cloud - A low, horizontal wedge-shaped arcus cloud, associated with a thunderstorm gust front (or occasionally with a cold front, even in the absence of thunderstorms).
BLUE NORTHER Refers to a swift-moving cold frontal passage in the southern Great Plains, marked by a dark, blue-black sky with strong wintery winds from the northwest or north and temperatures that may drop 20°F to 30 ...
If a cold front rides up and over a warm front, it is a WARM OCCLUSION. If a cold front slides under the warm front, it is a COLD OCCLUSION.
An interface or transition zone between two air masses of different density, and therefore (usually) of different temperature. A moving front is named according to the advancing air mass, e.g. cold front if colder air is advancing.
Front - A transition zone between two differing air masses. Basic types are cold front, warm front, and stationary front.
