2. Stationary Fronts move less than 6 mph.
3. The winds usually blow parallel on both sides of a Stationary Front: Example: East to West on the north side of the front, and West to East on the south side of the front.

Stationary Front
A front that is not moving.
Cold Front
Leading edge of colder air that is replacing warmer air.
Stationary Front - the boundary between two air masses neither of which is replacing the other ...
Stationary Front - A front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all.
Storm Warning - A marine warning where forecasts call for 50 to 60 kts of wind and turbulent wave conditions.
STATIONARY FRONT: A transition zone between airmasses, with neither advancing upon the other.
STORM: In marine usage, winds 48 knots (55 mph) or greater.
stationary front - Same as quasi-stationary front.
statistic - Generally, a number describing some characteristic of a population or samples therefrom. Specifically, an estimate of a statistical parameter computed from a sample.
Stationary Front- the boundary between cool and warm air in which neither air mass is advancing.
STATIONARY FRONT A front which is nearly stationary or moves very little since the last synoptic position. May be known as a quasi-stationary front.
Stationary front A front that is nearly stationary with winds blowing almost parallel and from opposite directions on each side of the front.
Station pressure The actual air pressure computed at the observing station.
Stationary Front A front that barely moves with winds blowing in almost parallel, but in opposite directions on each side of the front.
Stationary front A nearly stationary narrow zone of transition between contrasting air masses; winds blow parallel but in opposite directions on either side of the front.
stationary front—Same as quasi-stationary front.
station pressure—The actual atmospheric pressure at the observing station.
steam fog—Fog formed when cold air moves over relatively warm water or wet ground.
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT
A front which is nearly stationary or moves very little since the last synoptic position. Also known as a stationary front.
R ...
Quasi-stationary front
A front that shows little or no horizontal movement. By convention, the term applies to a front this is moving at 5 knots or less.
Stationary Front - one where nobody seems to be making any progress
Occluded front - a situation where a cold front rams a warm front from behind, as cold fronts are faster.
Quasi-Stationary Front: Front whose position remains almost unchanged during a certain period of time.
Observation WellIn hydrologic terms, a non-pumping well used for observing the elevation of the water table or piezometric surfaceOccluded FrontA composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front.
As with stationary fronts, a wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, but usually they are associated with stratus clouds and light precipitation.
occluded frontA composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front.
A composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front. Two types of occlusions can form depending on the relative coldness of the air behind the cold front to the air ahead of the warm or stationary front.
Also known as a stationary front.

Front - A transition zone between two differing air masses. Basic types are cold front, warm front, and stationary front.
Slow-moving or even stationary fronts blocked by a winter anticyclone may accumulate thick layers of glaze. Such an event is known as ice storm.
It also provides useful information for diagnosing the potential for short-fused flooding events, especially when warm, moist, unstable air south of a warm or stationary front is forced isentropically over the frontal boundary by significant low ...
condition existing when an air mass aloft is in motion relative to another air mass of greater density at the surface. This term is usually applied in the case of warm air ascending the surface of a warm front or quasi-stationary front.
