Warm Front Shields are associated with multi-layered cloudiness, with much low and middle level cloudiness in the warm sector. Moderate to heavy precipitation can be found well ahead of the surface front, but after front passage and in the warm sector slight to moderate precipitation is still possible.

Parameter	Description
Precipitation	Slight, moderate or heavy precipitation ahead of the surface front. In winter, ahead of surface front snow, freezing rain (drizzle) is possible After the front passage, rain and drizzle (light snow in winter)
Temperature	Rises slowly after the passage of the front.
Wind (incl. gusts)	Veering of the wind at the front passage. Sometimes in warm sector increasing and more gusty winds
Other relevant information	Precipitation areas move faster than surface front (embedded in Warm Conveyor Belt) Sometimes moderate to severe icing ahead of surface front In wintertime in the warm sector often misty and risk of fog In warm sector low level turbulence possible In summer thunder possible, most likely at the warm side of the front.
