NOTE: We've guessed that
you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Warm Front
transition zone from cold air to warm air
A warm front is defined as the transition zone where a warm air mass
is replacing a cold air mass. Warm fronts generally move from southwest to
northeast and the air behind a warm front is
warmer and more moist than the air ahead of it.
When a warm front passes through, the air becomes noticeably warmer and more
humid than it was before.
Symbolically, a warm front is represented by a solid line with
semicircles pointing towards the colder air and in the
direction of movement. On colored weather maps, a warm front
is drawn with a solid red line.
