🔍 Key Concepts

• Cold front structure and the difference between the warm and cold sectors • How wind direction and speed typically change before, during, and after the passage of a cold front • Meaning of veering vs backing winds in terms of compass direction

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to wind direction as a cold front moves past you. Does the wind tend to shift clockwise or counterclockwise once you are behind the front in the cold air? • Consider whether the wind in the cold sector is usually variable or more uniform. Would you expect rapid, continual shifts or a more consistent direction after the front has passed? • Recall how wind speed behaves right after frontal passage: does it usually calm down immediately, or can it stay fresh or even increase for a time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that veering means a clockwise shift in wind direction and backing means a counterclockwise shift. • Confirm in your weather notes how winds behave behind (in the cold sector of) a cold front, not ahead of it. • Check whether the description in the answer choice matches a short-lived transition at frontal passage, or the typical condition in the cold sector after the front has gone by.
