Cold front on a weather map. Cold fronts are shown on synoptic charts by a solid line with triangles along the front pointing towards. Cold fronts are often coloured blue. We ll be in the hot zone today. Also on the weather map is a slow moving cold front well to our west over the plains states.
As the cold front passes the clouds roll by and the air temperature is cooler. The presence of a cold front means that cold. Winds will pick up out of the south at 10 15mph with gusts to 25mph. The triangles can be thought of as icicles.
A warm front indicates the boundary between a warm and a the frontitself is not a precise boundary but rather a transition zone. Cold fronts typically move from northwest to southeast. Meanwhile hot air is being dragged. There is also a cold front to the west that is moving east.
As a reminder a cold front indicates the boundary between relatively warmer and colder air masses where the colder air is advancing. A cold front can bring cold temperatures torrential rains and high wind speeds.
