Cold fronts tend to move faster than warm, so this happens quite often. The cold air mass will tend to lift the warm, which creates high amounts of condensation and cloud formation as the fronts become occluded.

When a cold front comes in contact with a warm front, a new front is formed called an occluded front. Precipitation often occurs here as either the warm air ahead the warm front or the cold air behind the cold front is forced upward - which air rises depends on the properties of the air.
A low pressure system that has occluded is mature and will begin to die. This does not mean new precipitation cannot form, only that the mechanisms that allow the low pressure system to grow have been removed and over time the system will decay.

You get a thunderstorm, which leads to a tornado.
When a cold front comes in, the warm front pushes it down toward the ground, (Hot things rise, cold things sink.) Where the two meet, you get thunderclouds, and if they rotate, you get mesacyclones (tornadoes), you get hail from the freezing water, and get lightening from the exitation of molecules (Lightening travels from the positive ions in the cloud, to the negative ions on the ground.) and Thunder (which comes from the sudden compression/decompression of molecules in the air.)

It relies upon on many factors. A heat front or chilly front could desire to offer extra rainfall reckoning on the intensity of the rain, the dimensions of the rain and the ability of the front. in actuality the warmth front in many cases drops extra rain because of the fact even nevertheless rain is lighter it falls over a lots extra desirable section and strikes slower. chilly front is in many cases short and showery whether heavy. many times, the warmth front will drop extra rain.

And the correct answer is: It becomes an occluded front.

It can depend on where you live. But its a Tropical storm in most cases.

storms depending on the severity of the fronts; the severity of the storm :-)
