Based on the conceptual models of warm and cold fronts over the continental US as presented in chapter 11, categorize each of the following as weather observed at a particular location before, during, and/or after passage of a either a warm front or cold front. 1. Surface winds south or southwest as front approaches, gusty during passage, and north or northwest after passage
2. Cloud type progression as the front approaches: cirrostratus, altocumulus, cumulonimbus
3. Would prompt this weather forecast: "Increasing clouds today, with southwesterly winds. Chance of showers or thunderstorms overnight. Partly cloudy and colder tomorrow, with northwesterly winds."
4. Cloud type progression as the front approaches: cirrostratus, altostratus, then nimbostratus
5. Dew point increases after front passes
6. Temperature increases after front passes
7. Weather moves through slowly
8. Steady precipitation during frontal passage
a. warm front
b. cold front
