When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.
An occluded front is a cold front that is moving faster than a warm front. The cold front soon "catches up" to the warm warm and they merge together.
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.
Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.
On a map, a warm front is represented with half-circles on a side of a red line. Related link will take you an image of a warm front symbol.
The weatherman said that we should expect a warm front by tomorrow afternoon.
A weather front can be a cold front, a warm front or an occlusion.
After the warm front passed through, temperatures rose significantly and the skies cleared up.
An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a warm front is overtaken by a cold front.
cold front is when there are 2 air masses and the cooler denser one advances replacing the warm front
When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.
When a cold front moves into a warm front, it typically undercuts the warm front and forces it aloft, resulting in the warm front being lifted off the ground. This process can lead to the formation of a stationary front or occluded front.

Fog can occur during a warm front.

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.
