“A weather station observes a gradual increase in temperature and humidity, along with a shift in wind direction from northeast to southeast. What type of front is likely approaching, and what changes in weather would you predict based on this data? A weather station records a rapid drop in temperature, followed by heavy rain and strong, gusty winds. What type of front is likely passing through the area, and what weather conditions would you expect after the front passes?”
