If you are talking about the thick black lines tha apear on the met office charts its and indication of a trough.

"Trough
An elongated area of relatively low surface pressure. The troughs marked on weather charts may also represent an area of low thickness (thickness trough), or a perturbation in the upper troposphere (upper trough). All are associated with increasing cloud and risk of precipitation."

check out http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/charts/index.html for the original weather chart I looked at

i know fairly well what weather charts mean (red=warm front, blue=cold front isobars etc) but what are the thick black lines that sometimes appear behind fronts? the thing circled in yellow is what i mean.
