Which tool is most helpful in forecasting the weather 3 days from now? a. Surface weather maps to locate frontal positions b. Trends of temperatures and dew point at individual stations c. Satellite and radar imagery d. Numerical weather models 26. Name and describe three differences between cold and warm fronts. Cold Fronts are made up of cold air advancing forward in the cold air mass and typically shaped like a dome. Cold air is denser and will slip under the warm air forcing it to rise up. If the warm air is unstable, thunderstorms will be produced at the frontal zone of the boundary. Warm fronts are made up of warm air which will rise above the cooler air at a more gradual slope. Clouds will develop during this and usually have more depth just north of the front. Precipitation is heaviest closest to the front. If the temperature of the cold air under the warm front is below freezing, snow, sleet and freezing rain will develop. [Show More]
