Summary of the Video

Cold Fronts: Cold fronts, symbolized by blue triangles, occur when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. This can lead to thunderstorms and severe weather, followed by colder, drier conditions and clear skies. • Warm Fronts: Warm fronts, symbolized by red semicircles, form when a warm air mass slowly rises over a colder air mass. They typically bring cloudy weather and rain, although thunderstorms are possible with unstable air. Passing warm fronts result in warmer, more humid air. • Occluded and Stationary Fronts: Occluded fronts involve three air masses, with warm air trapped between two colder masses, often producing rain or snow, sometimes heavy or thunderstorm-like. Stationary fronts, where air masses of equal density meet and remain relatively unchanged, can bring prolonged periods of rain or snow, with the temperature and sky conditions varying depending on wind direction.
