A stationary front (or quasi-stationary front) is a weather front or transition zone between two air masses when each air mass is advancing into the other at speeds less than 5 knots (about 6 miles per hour or about 9 kilometers per hour) at the ground surface. On weather maps, it is illustrated as a solid line of alternating blue spikes pointing to the warmer air mass and red domes facing the colder air mass.
