frontal fog
Fog associated with frontal zones and frontal passages.
It is usually divided into three types: warm-front prefrontal fog; cold-front post-frontal fog; and frontal-passage fog. The first two types are a result of rain falling into cold stable air and raising the dewpoint temperature. Frontal-passage fog can result from the "mixing of warm and cold air masses in the frontal zone" or by "sudden cooling of air over moist ground."
