Answer 1

A cold air mass moving into an area where a warm air mass is currently located typically causes the warm air to rise, which can lead to cloud formation and precipitation. As the cold air mass continues to move in, the area can expect rain followed by a drop in temperatures.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. rain, followed by cooler weather.
