Title: M7 Activity 2 v1

- Surface winds are south or southwest as front approaches,

gusty during passage, and north or northwest after passage;

temperature and dew point temperature both decrease

after front passes
- Typically stable conditions generating with widespread, slow-moving weather and steady precipitation; can produce freezing rain,

sleet, and snow in winter
- Possible cloud type progression as the front approaches a location is first cirrostratus, then altocumulus, and finally cumulonimbus
- Would prompt this weather forecast: "Increasing and lowering clouds through the day, with light easterly winds. Chance of rain overnight.

Partly cloudy and warmer tomorrow with southwesterly winds."
- Pressure reaches a minimum then rises sharply as

the front passes through a location
- Possible cloud type progression as the front approaches a location is first cirrostratus, the altostratus, then finally nimbostratus
- A steeply-sloped front that prompts advancing cold, dry air

to vigorously lift slower moving warm, moist air
- 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."
- Shallowly-sloped front prompts advancing warm,

moist air to overrun cooler and drier air
- Typically unstable conditions generating convective clouds and

showery precipitation along a narrow band,

with thunderstorms possible
- Surface winds are east or southeast as front approaches, and south or southwest after passage; temperature and dew point temperature both increase after front passes
