Mature Cyclones
qWell-developed fronts circulating about a deep low pressure
center characterize a mature mid-latitude cyclone.
qHeavy precipitation stems from cumulus development in
association with the cold front.
qLighter precipitation is associated with stratus clouds of the
warm front.
qIsobars close the low and are typically kinked in relation to
the fronts due to steep temperature gradients.
