As a warm front with precipitation approaches, cirrus clouds may appear first due to the rising air ahead of the front. Cirrostratus and altostratus clouds then form as the front gets closer, and nimbostratus clouds appear as precipitation begins. Fog may also occur in certain conditions, but it is not a type of cloud. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms and are more likely to appear along a cold front.
