A warm front occurs when a warm air mass moves into an area occupied by a colder air mass. The warm air is lighter; so it flows up the slope of the cold air below it. Warm fronts usually form on the eastern sides of low pressure systems, create wide areas of clouds and rain, and move at an average speed of 15 mph. 3, record 1, English, - warm%20front
