What kind of weather is associated with a cold
front while it is over an area and once it passes?
Weather along a cold front consists of heavy rainfall and gusty
winds.
Once the cold front passes, temperatures drop and the wind
shifts and the area becomes dominated by a relatively cold
mass. The weather clears soon after a cold front passes.

the flow of air on either side of a front is neither
toward the cold air or the warm air.
