∙ 12y agoWhen a warm air mass catches up with a cold air mass, it is known as an occluded front. At this point, the warm air mass is forced aloft as the faster-moving cold front overtakes the slower-moving warm front. This results in cooler temperatures and often precipitation.
When a cold air mass catches up to a warm air mass, it is called a cold front. At a cold front, the cold air replaces the warm air, creating a boundary between the two air masses. This can result in the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather.
A warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass is called an occluded front. This occurs when a fast-moving cold front catches up to a slow-moving warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground. The mixing of air masses can lead to cloud formation and precipitation.

When a cold air mass catches up to a warm air mass, it is called a cold front. At a cold front, the cold air replaces the warm air, creating a boundary between the two air masses. This can result in the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather.
In a warm front, warm air replaces cold air as the warm air mass gradually advances over the cold air mass. This can lead to prolonged periods of steady precipitation, such as rain or drizzle, as the warm air is forced to rise over the cooler air. Cloudiness and milder temperatures are characteristic of warm fronts.

When a cold air mass catches up with a warm air mass, it can result in the formation of a cold front. This can lead to abrupt changes in weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, or even snow if the temperatures are cold enough.
