At Point C, what general temperature change will take place with the passing of the cold front? Why?

The question is based on this hypothetical weather map in the Northern Hemisphere showing isobars and the positions of a cold front and a warm front (top of map is north). Six locations are marked on the map (points A, B, C, D, E, and F). A cross-section diagram along points A, B, C, D, E, and F is shown below the map.











What will be an ideal response?


Rapid decrease. Change from warm air mass to cold air mass.
