Answer to Question 1

First, one would see high cirrus clouds; the clouds gradually thicken and lower as the warm front advances. Light precipitation begins about a day after the cirrus clouds appeargradually the precipitation increases, temperature increases, and winds begin to change. This weather will then be replaced by a clearing accompanied by high humidity and heat, but this is quickly overtaken by gusty winds and severe weather as the cold front takes over.

Answer to Question 2

Temperatures would likely be warmest on the second day and coldest on the third day.
