Question

There is a weak cold front 2 km deep moving across the area.
Is the weather or geographical feature above of sufficient height to lift the parcel high enough to generate condensation inside the parcel?
   Is it sufficient to lift the parcel to a level where instability will occur, i.e., the point where the parcel is warmer than the environment allowing it to rise on its own without further lifting?
Explain and justify your answer. There is a weak cold front 2 km deep moving across the area.

Explanation / Answer

There is a weak cold front 2 km deep moving across the area.            

Is the weather or geographical feature above of sufficient height to lift the parcel high enough to generate condensation inside the parcel?

Yes, the weather above sufficient height lift the parcel still it reaches condensation stage. Till it reaches condensation stage the air parcel air is unsaturated, less dense and warm. So this weather lift the parcel to that height where the air parcel height saturated and condensed.

   Is it sufficient to lift the parcel to a level where instability will occur, i.e., the point where the parcel is warmer than the environment allowing it to rise on its own without further lifting?

Air parcel is warmer than the environment will rise on its own without further lifting due to buoyant force,

Explain and justify your answer.

Instability occurs in case of dry adiabatic rate of air parcel is less than the environmental lapse rate. The air parcel here will be warmer and less dense than surrounding air and will rise due to buoyancy. Clouds with extensive vertical development indicate absolute instability.
