Chapter 5.5.1 Mesoscale structure and microphysical characteristics of Extratropical Cyclonic Storms

Layer clouds (a form of stratus) and/or widespread precipitation typically form ahead of a warm front (Figure 5.31)

Cold fronts can be accompanied by layer or convective (Cb’s) clouds, depending upon the stability and/or abruptness of cold front (Figure 5.31)
