    Wind Direction-North West on approch, then West, then South East.

    Cloud cover-decrease with dew point.

  2. Weather conditions associated with a cold front:

    Ahead of and during the passing of the front, there will most likely be rainshowers/thunderstorms and windy conditions from the SW - W. Decreasing barometric pressure and plenty of cloud cover.

    Once the front actually passes, you will experience- continuing windy conditions but the wind is now from the NW and is blowing in cooler, drier air (decreasing dew point). Barometric pressure begins to rise again, Cloud cover will eventually move out of the area (sometimes this takes longer in some places than in others).

  3. Cooling after passage, wind out of the southwest veering to northwest after passage.  Cumuli-form clouds.  Showers.
