To determine the conditions likely to follow the current ones when a cold front passes, we first need to understand the atmospheric changes associated with a cold front. Here are the conditions before and after a cold front passes:
1. Dew Point:
- Before: High
- After: Low
2. Humidity:
- Before: More
- After: Less
3. Precipitation:
- Before: Showers
- After: Showers, then no showers
4. Pressure:
- Before: Decreasing
- After: Increasing
5. Temperature:
- Before: Warm
- After: Becomes cooler
From these changes, we'll list the conditions likely to be observed after the cold front passes:
1. Less Humidity: The front brings drier air, so humidity decreases.
2. No Precipitation: Initially, there may be showers as the front passes, but it clears up, and precipitation ceases.
3. Cooler Temperatures: The warm air is replaced with cooler air.
Now, we need to match these conditions with the given choices:
- High dew point
- Less humidity
- No precipitation
- Lower pressure
- Cooler temperatures
The conditions that align with what follows after the cold front are:
1. Less Humidity
2. No Precipitation
3. Cooler Temperatures
Thus, the three responses you should select are:
1. Less humidity
2. No precipitation
3. Cooler temperatures
These conditions effectively describe the typical changes in the weather after a cold front passes through an area.
