The structure of warm fronts (stationary fronts are similar) is illustrated at left. Warm, humid air from the warm sector of the system is advected over a wedge of cold air. The lift leads to cloud formation, and a layer of warm, humid air above the cold wedge. However, precipitation falls into the colder air, and will freeze if the air is below freezing.
