Listen for answers to your questions as we watch it the first time. • As we watch it the second time I will pause the video to give you time to answer the questions. • http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/weather-and-climate/air-masses-and-fronts.htm • • http://www.phschool.com/atschool/phsciexp/active_art/weather_fronts/ http://www.weather.com/weather/videos/on-tv-43/weather-wizard-400/creating-a-weather-front-19179 Cold Front Sketch the diagram of the cold front (the one on top).

A warm front is the boundary when the warm air is winning the battle. When the pushing is a standoff, the boundary is known as a stationary front. Stationary fronts often bring several days of cloudy, wet weather that can last a week or more.
