Question

Rain showers have continued over a particular area for several days. Which of the following weather factors is most likely responsible?

a. a high-pressure system
b. a stationary front
c. low humidity
d. a warm front

Answer 1

(B) a stationary front will most possibly be responsible for continued rain showers over a couple of days. As opposed to warm fronts, stationary fronts are considerably more durable and thus can lead to precipitation and showers which will continue for several days.

Answer 2

Rain showers have continued over a particular area for several days as a consequence of a stationary front. Option B is correct.

A stationary front is a pair of air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other.

A wide range of weather can be found along a stationary front, especially, prolonged precipitation, and storm trains are found there. When there is a lot of water vapor in the warmer air mass, great amounts of rain or freezing rain can take place.
