STATIONARY FRONT
When two air masses meet and stop moving because neither has enough force
to lift the warm air mass over the cold air mass.
*Stationary fronts bring light winds and wet weather and can last
for several days.
OCCLUDED FRONT
This forms when a warm air mass is caught between two colder air masses
coming together.
*If an occluded front is accompanied by strong winds and cooler
temperatures, it can bring heavy rain or snow.
