  1. Increasing temps, wind out of the east-northeast veering to southwest after passage, cloudy with strati-form clouds such as Nimbostratus.  Steady rain/drizzle.  Foggy conditions.


  2. Temp-increase

    Dew Point-Increase

    Wind Speed-decrease

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

    Cloud Cover-Increase with dew point.

    *

  3. Warm frontal conditions most likely include:

    Ahead of and during the passing of the front: Relatively high temps and increasing humidity with winds from the S and SW. Winds can be somewhat gusty, and depending on your location they can really gust. Rising dew points and increasing cloud cover, usually a nimbostratus condition with warm air advection (overrunning) taking place. Plenty of steady rain, often lasting for hours, occassionally an embedded thunderstorm.

    Once the warm front passes to the north, the cloud coverage may decrease, but the winds remain from the S-SW and it gets even more warm and humid.
