Answer 1

A cold front

Step-by-step explanation:

This weather forecast is a typical winter-like weather situation in a mid-latitude location. Before the passage of a cold front, the weather ahead of the front is rainy, but since the location is still on the warm side of the front, winds come out of the southeast. After the front as passed, cold winds are brought in from the west and the northwest and rain and snow can persist until drier air arrives.
