What's an "active cold front"?
This morning's BOSC FA says:
SYNOPSIS...ACTIVE PTN CDFNT OVR ERN CSTL WTRS VA/MD/DE WILL MOVE OVR INTL WTRS 12-15Z. OTRW..STNR BNDRY ACRS SWRN OH VLY THRU PD. HI PRES WILL DMNT NERN PTN. BTR. What does "active" mean in this context? Is there such a thing as an "inactive" cold front, or is that just another way of saying stationary front? Is there any difference between a "stationary boundary" and a "stationary front"?

Most likely there were some thunderstorms present. -RH

An inactive cold front could refer to a cold front that moves through dry air and causes no weather at all. A stationary boundary and a stationary front are pretty much the same.
