🔍 Key Concepts

• Northern Hemisphere frontal passage and typical weather changes • Differences between cold fronts and warm fronts (temperature, wind shift, precipitation) • How pressure trends and sky conditions behave after a front passes

💭 Think About

• Focus on which type of front usually brings a rapid temperature drop, strong gusty winds, and short-lived but intense squalls or thunderstorms. • Think about whether an anticyclone or tropical cyclone would normally be associated with a rise in pressure and clearing skies right after the worst weather passes. • Compare what happens to wind direction around lows vs. highs in the Northern Hemisphere and which one matches a clockwise wind shift with improving weather.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which type of system typically causes gusty winds that veer (shift clockwise) as it passes in the Northern Hemisphere. • Confirm which system is most associated with a rapid temperature drop, not a slow warm-up, during passage. • Check which pattern usually shows pressure falling before passage and then rising with clearing skies afterward.
