Describe the weather changes that would likely occur as a mid-latitude cyclone passes over a given location, beginning with the approach of the warm front
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Cirrus-type clouds appear as the warm front approaches. Cloud types change from high to middle to low as the warm front gets closer. Prolonged and gentle precip may occur. As the warm front passes, temperatures and dew points increase and winds shift in a clockwise direction. The air is typically warm and unstable in the warm sector. As the cold front approaches, thunderstorms may occur. Temperatures and dew points will drop and winds will shift to northwesterly as the cold front passes.
