Is it possible for a stationary front to produce precipitation? If so, explain the conditions in which precipitation is favorable
The weather along a stationary front is clear to partly cloudy, with much colder air lying on its eastern side. Because both air masses are relatively dry, there typically is no precipitation. However, when warm, moist air rides up and over the cold air, widespread cloudiness with light precipitation can cover a vast area. When a stationary front butts up against a mountain range, winds blowing upslope can generate light rain or snow if there is enough moisture in the air.
