How do clouds form along a cold front?

Question

Most details possible please

Answer 1

NO I am afraid your other reader is wrong about the mechanics. Here is how the process works. Cold air pushes the warm air ahead of it up and over the sloping front between the air masses. This vertical uplift due to the colder air mass brings the warmer air to its dew point and creates the cloud base from which the cloud can grow. As water vapor is condensed a lot of extra heat is released which adds to the instability and the growth of the cloud.

Answer 2

In a cold front, cold air encounters warm air, often overrunning it (cold layer on top of warm layer). The warm, moist air rises into the cold air (Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air). The warm air cools, causing the moisture to condense into water droplets, and ultimately into clouds.
