The weather map shows isobars with a central low pressure of 995 hPa. A warm front (red line) extends eastward from the low, with wind symbols indicating flow from the south‑south‑east ahead of the front. A cold front (blue line) approaches from the north, with wind symbols showing flow from the north‑north‑west ahead of the front. At a station located 150 km north of the low centre, the wind is currently from the south‑south‑east. Based on the map, describe the sequence of weather changes that the station will experience as the cold front passes, specifying the conditions before the front arrives, during the passage, and after the front has moved through.
