A station model time sequence for Town L shows these changes over the last 6 hours:
  • Air pressure: 1016 mb → 1012 mb → 1008 mb (steady drop)
  • Cloud cover: few → broken → overcast
  • Wind: light → moderate, shifting to more southerly
  • Precipitation: none → none → drizzle
Using this evidence and common weather patterns (and remembering predictions are probabilistic), how is the weather most likely to change in the next 6 hours?
