- Nota adicional1
- Formerly, the term was also applied to one of the line of thunderstorms that often appears up to a few hundred miles in advance of the cold front, along what is now known as an instability line or squall line.
- Nota adicional2
- The cold-front thunderstorm is caused by the forward motion of a wedge of cold air, into a body of warm, moist unstable air. Cold-front storms are normally positioned aloft along the frontal surface in what appears to be a continuous line.
