Yesterday, you made observations of cirrus, then altostratus clouds. Today you observe more altostratus and stratus clouds. Which weather condition are you likely observing?

Correct Answer: Option B — Warm front

The sequence of cirrus, followed by altostratus and then stratus clouds, is the classic cloud progression associated with an approaching warm front. As the warm air mass overrides the colder air, the cloud base lowers and thickens, typically resulting in steady, prolonged precipitation and a gradual rise in temperature.
