As the cold front reaches the warm front it forms an occluded front. |
In both types of occlusions, the occluded front has well defined vertical boundaries between the coldest air, the cool air, and the warm air. |
A wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, with thunderstorms possible, but usually their passage is associated with a drying of the air mass. |
An occluded front usually extends northward from the frontal wave and moves across northern British Columbia. |
This frontal intersection is called an occluded front. |
The weather forecast called for an occluded front to move into the Sierras Sunday afternoon, the day we were to fly back to China Lake. |
