🔍 Key Concepts

• Cold front vs. warm front typical weather patterns • Sequence of weather changes as a cold front passes (before, during, after) • Difference between long-duration rain and short, intense weather events

💭 Think About

• Which type of front is more likely to bring long periods of steady rain and clouds—cold or warm fronts? • What usually happens to the weather right AFTER a cold front passes (think about sky conditions and visibility)? • Which cloud types and hazards are commonly associated with cold fronts compared to warm fronts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe long-lasting vs short-lived but intense weather. • Match the described weather to what normally follows a cold air mass replacing warm air. • Check which option includes both severe convection (like thunderstorms or hail) and a change to improving conditions afterward.
