A warm front is essentially the boundary between a cool air mass and a warm air mass. Typically you get rain and sometimes really strong thunderstorms from a warm front depending on the temperature difference of either side of the front. Some common cloud types that you would get with a warm front in order of increasing altitude:
1. Stratus
2. Nimbostratus
3. Altocumulus
4. Altostratus
5. Cirrocumulus
6. Cirrostratus
7. Cirrus

∙ 13y agoOn a weather map, a warm front is a red line with half-circles on it. The half-
circles face the direction that the warm front is moving, if they are facing upwards and to the left, then the warm front is moving northwesterly. If they point down and to the right, the front is moving southeasterly. Cold fronts are blue lines with triangles on them, the cold front is flowing in the direction the triangles are pointing. The best way to get a good picture of this is to look at weather maps online.

Do cloud fronts move faster than warm fronts?
Yes cold fronts move faster than warm fronts
How fast do frontal systems move?
cold fronts move faster at a rate of 35-50 miles per hour and warm fronts move at a rate of 17-35 miles per hour
What are the three different fronts?
Warm fronts, cold fronts and occluded fronts.
Why are the differences between cold and warm fronts so significant?
The differences between cold fronts and warm fronts is that, cold fronts are hard and nasty while warm fronts are soft and easy to sex :D Unknown ....
What kind of weather should you expect in a warm front?
Warm fronts frequently bring blustery climate as the warm air mass at the surface transcends the cool air mass, making mists and tempests. Warm fronts move more gradually than cold fronts since it is more hard for the warm air to push the chilly, thick air across the Earth's surface.
How quick do warm fronts move?
Warm fronts move quicker than cold fronts but cold fronts still move rapidly.
Do cloud fronts move faster than warm fronts?
Yes cold fronts move faster than warm fronts
True or false warm fronts move more quickly than cold fronts?
False. Warm fronts move slower.
How do cold fronts move?
Cold fronts can move very rapidly but still move slower that warm fronts.
How quick do cold fronts move?
Cold fronts can move very rapidly but still move slower that warm fronts.
Why do cold and warm fronts move?
Cold and warm fronts move because they are air, which flows just as easily as water.
Is this true Cold fronts and warm fronts travel at the same speed?
No, warm fronts generally move slower than cold fronts.
N North America in what direction do cold and warm fronts tend to move?
In North America cold and warm fronts move from west to east.
What happens a warm front?
Warm fronts are fronts that are typically called warm fronts
Why do warm fronts have steeper slopes than cold fronts?
No it does not. In fact, it is SLOWER than the cold front. If warm front bump into the cold front cause these types of weather conditions: strong wind, thunder storm, heavy precipitation (any form of water that falls into earth). If cold one bumps into the warm front, it is the opposite. It cause weather to turn into weaker wind and light, steady precipitation.
Which characteristic is not true of cold fronts A they lift upward B they push warm fronts downward C they move more slowly than warm fronts D none of these are true?
None of the choices are true.
How can you tell the direction a front is moving?
Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts.[2] When a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.
