Generation

A frontal system is the boundary zone where two air masses with different temperatures and moisture levels collide. When warm and cold air meet, they don't mix easily—instead, the lighter warm air rises over the denser cold air, creating distinct weather patterns. Cold fronts (where cold air advances) typically bring brief, intense storms, while warm fronts (where warm air advances) produce longer periods of lighter precipitation. The passage of these fronts causes predictable changes in temperature, wind direction, and atmospheric pressure that meteorologists use to forecast weather.
