You are in the northern hemisphere and this front is about to pass over you. What is the wind most likely to do as it goes through?
A weather chart. A blue line with triangles along its right-hand side curves down from a low, marked L, and is moving to the right. A yacht marked you is just to the right of the line.

Veer, often suddenly, with squalls. The triangles make this a cold front. As it passes, the wind typically veers sharply (for example from south-west to north-west), often with a squall and heavy rain. Behind it the sky clears, the air turns cooler and the visibility improves.
