The cold front of an intensifying weather system picks up speed and catches up with the warm front. When the cold front reaches the warm front, the warm air is caught and squeezed more and more between the two fronts.

A cold front occurs when a cold air mass moves into an area occupied by a warmer air mass. Moving at an average speed of about 20 mph, the heavier cold air moves in a wedge shape along the ground.

A warm occluded front occurs when a cool front overtakes a warm front overlying a cold front. The primary difference is the location of the upper level front. The cold front is ahead of the surface occluded front. In this case the weather is similar to a warm front. The surface front trails the upper level front by about 300 km. 1, record 10, English, - warm%20occluded%20front

Ce front frais s’élève lui aussi au-dessus de la masse d’air plus froide, en forçant le front chaud à s’élever davantage.

Narrow zone, other than a warm, cold, or occluded front, across which there is a distinct gradient in the moisture content of the air near the Earth's surface. 4, record 13, English, - dry%20line
Record number: 13, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The dry-line is an area where the relatively dry air from the west that has passed over the Rocky Mountains and warmed by compression, butts up against and flows over very warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This boundary may also be referred to as the dew point front because dew point temperatures can change as much as 9°C/km. This boundary can occur as far north as the Dakotas, and as far east as the Texas-Louisiana border, but are most common on the east side of the Rockies. As surface winds converge east of the dry-line, lifting occurs, leading to thunderstorm development. 2, record 13, English, - dry%20line
