Warm fronts typically move more slowly than cold fronts and have a gradual slope, which can produce a longer duration of precipitation. They often have stratus or stratocumulus clouds, which can produce steady rain or drizzle. Cold fronts, on the other hand, move quickly and produce cumuliform clouds that can result in heavy but brief precipitation.
