Stationary Front On A Weather Map

A stationary front symbol looks like it is alternating between a warm front and cold front facing in opposite directions. Stationary fronts have alternating sections of red curves with semicircles and blue curves with triangles. A warm front is symbolised on a weather map as a line with semicircles.

On a weather map, a stationary front is shown as alternating red semicircles and blue triangles which point in opposite directions to represent the warm air mass and the cool air mass. Warm fronts are depicted on daily weather maps as a solid red line with filled red half circles; On a weather map, a stationary front is resembled as a alternating cold front and warm front symbols on opposite sides.

Stationary front is when both cold front and warm front meet which brings a long rainy period at just one spot.

The presence of a warm front means that warm air is advancing and rising over cold air. There are four main types of fronts: Occasionally more extreme weather occurs as a result of stationary fronts, and these usually cause thunderstorms, which can occasionally cause derechos to shunt. A stationary front is represented on a map by triangles pointing in one direction and semicircles pointed in the other direction.
