Tail End of a Cold Front




                                                              Tail End of a Cold Front


            I learned that a cold front is the front of a cold air mass, or basically a giant bubble of relatively cold and dry air and the tail end of cold front is the later portion of an advancing or leading edge of a steep cold wedge of air characterized by cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds with frequent precipitation in the form of heavy shower. This was the cause of the continuous heavy rain that have occurred in the different parts of the Philippines. The continuous rain showers, strong winds and thick clouds that enveloped the land of the Bicolanos since the start of the year causes huge landslides and over flowing rivers, causing to an unexpected massive flooding,  have resulted to damages not only to properties but most importantly lives.  Notwithstanding the effects of the experience,  the damages incurred, the trauma embedded, this blow at the start of 2011 gives the people of Albay not only a head start but another learning to be more alert and prepared for the expected disasters and calamities for the whole of 2011.
            This illustration shows how cold fronts are formed
                                    
            I want to know more about the effect of the tail end of cold fronts on the Philippine weather system
and simply how can these tail ends affect us.
            I would like to research on how the PAGASA predict the formation of a cold front and what devices or instruments are used to predict the formation of it and in what way/s they can announce to the people especially in the Philippines about its coming.
            I appreciate the fact that cold fronts are not simply rains, instead they are almost the same with storms that causes massive destruction to properties,therefore, they must not be considered less dangerous.
           I can apply my learnings and insights on making my self aware on these natural phenomenons and to be ready at all times if these will cause serious damages.
