Flexi Says: In winter, an approaching warm front can bring a hazardous wintry mix of precipitation. Snow is most likely to occur ahead of the approaching front. Along the front edge, where the warm moist air rises over the colder air mass, sleet and freezing rain are likely as rain falls through cold air and freezes. Ice may form on surfaces as the ground temperature may still be below freezing. Behind the front where warm air extends to the ground, rain is most likely.
