Answer:

This honestly depends on whether it is a cold or warm occuluded front. Cold occluded fronts bring violent storms like hail and thunderstorms and have also caused tornadoes. Warm occluded fronts typically produce light rain.

Best answer is : An extended period of rain

Step-by-step explanation:

Occluded Front Forms when a warm air mass gets caught between two cold air masses. The warm air mass rises as the cool air masses push and meet in the middle. The temperature drops as the warm air mass is occluded, or “cut off,” from the ground and pushed upward. Can bring strong winds and heavy precipitation.
