The turbulence can cause clouds and storms. Often there is turbulence at a front, which is the borderline where two different air masses come together. Each air mass has unique temperature and humidity characteristics. What is a Weather Front?Ī weather front is a transition zone between two different air masses at the Earth's surface. Usually, the skies clear once the front has passed. At a warm front, there may be low stratus clouds. At a cold front, there may be dramatic thunderstorms.
Many fronts cause weather events such as rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and tornadoes. When a front passes over an area, it means a change in the weather.
