The movement of air masses (and the fronts between them).
Air masses acquire temperature and moisture characteristics from their source regions (maritime vs. continental, tropical vs. polar). When a new air mass or its front moves into an area, it produces the largest and fastest changes in both temperature and humidity (e.g., a maritime tropical air mass brings warm, humid conditions; a continental polar air mass brings cold, dry air).
