Warm, windy night.
B.
Cool, windy night.
C.
Rainy night with light winds.
D.
Clear night with light winds.
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D

The inversion created from a cold front is especially evident when a shallow layer of polar air moves into lower latitudes. The air associated with the shallow air mass is colder than the air aloft, thus creating an inversion. Inversions promote stability within the vertical layer of the troposphere they exist.
