                                                   By Payton




A stationary front is a boundary between two air masses that
more or less doesn’t move, but some stationary fronts can
wobble back and forth for several hundred miles a day. A
stationary front is represented as an alternating warm and cold
                                                                          A trough on a weather map is an
front symbol.
                                                                          elongated area of relatively low pressure.
                                                                          Troughs bring cloudy and rainy weather. A

                              An occluded front is a combination of two fronts that form
                              when a cold front catches up and overtakes a warm front.
                              An occluded front is represented as a purple line with teeth
                              and half circles.
