A cold weather front is defined as the changeover region where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass. Cold weather fronts usually move from northwest to southeast. The air behind a cold front is colder and drier than the air in front.
Where is the cold front located?
A cold front extends to the south of the low pressure center, with a warm front to the east. Warm air is located ahead of the cold front and behind the warm front (the so-called “warm sector”), while cool air exists ahead of the warm front and cold air is present behind the cold front.
