This front forms when strong, upper-level winds push a cold, dense air mass into a warmer, lighter air mass, creating low-level clouds that appear thick and puffy, which cause heavy rain, hail, thunder, or lightning.
After this type of front, temperatures cool, rain stops, and there are clear skies.
