Here's why:
* Stationary fronts occur when two air masses of different temperatures meet but neither has enough force to push the other aside.
* This results in a prolonged period of cloudy skies, precipitation, and relatively stable weather conditions.
* The front itself is often marked by a line of thunderstorms or other severe weather.
* They can persist for days or even weeks, as the air masses struggle for dominance.
