Cyclogenesis can occur anywhere, but in middle and high latitudes, ... The development of a significant cyclone along the polar front depends on whether the initial wave is stable or unstable. Wave formation is more likely to occur on slowly moving or stationary fronts like the polar front than on rapidly moving fronts.
