Before an occluded front, you may experience warm temperatures and possibly thunderstorms as warm air is lifted ahead of the front. After an occluded front passes, you can expect cooler temperatures, clearing skies, and a decrease in precipitation as the occluded front brings cooler air mass to the region.
