With a cold front clouds move faster. With a warm front clouds are low and grey (nimbostratus) and usually it stays overcast and rainy and damp for a while as a warm front is slow moving.

The slope of a cold front is steeper than a warm front.Further the cold front moves faster.So,when cold front occurs,the cold air mass actively displaces the warmer airmass at a faster rate thereby lifting it at an increased rate.So, vertical motion will be more vigorous and convective type of clouds like towering cumulus and cumulonimbus will form resulting in thunderstorm and rain.
On the other hand,the slope of a warm front is gradual.Due to steady upglide motion of warm air over a cold wedge,stratiform clouds exist ahead of the front.Altostratus,Nimbostratus and cirrus clouds are seen ahead of the front.
If the ascending warm air unconditionally unstable, scattered cumulonimbus and altocumulus may form sometimes.

chilly fronts are fronts in which a warmth air mass is overtaken by ability of a chilly air mass. the nice and cozy temperature air ought to upward thrust, or maybe as it reaches the cool air, it can not proceed. It applies rigidity on the capping inversion (boundary between warmth and chilly air) and finally breaks by ability of. It rises very straight away after being contained for therefore long. you may create this action at domicile by ability of cooking some thing on your range and putting a lid over it. The steam created by ability of the nice and cozy temperature is contained lower than the lid. once you advance the lid, the steam rushes in the route of the ceiling. a similar takes position in a thunderstorm. because that this warmth air is rushing upward, it can not adapt to the temperature enormous difference larger contained in the ambience. This causes the thunderstorm to be hotter than the air round it. This causes volatile air. The thunderstorms personal precipitation will ultimately cool the floor sufficient to end the updraft of skill. warmth fronts air warmth air lots that overtake chilly air lots. the nice and cozy temperature air rises and kinds extreme altitude clouds that produce little precipitation.
