    Front rules (not an official NWS front call): we flag a front when the wind turns north, northwest, or northeast after a south or east wind, and highs fall at least 4 degrees the same day or the next day. If highs fall 8 degrees or more, a turn to west or west-northwest also counts. A drop of 8 degrees or more can be called a cold front. A drop of 4 to 7 degrees, or forecast text that mentions a front, is marked weak. We read day and night forecast text. Outlook days come from Open-Meteo and are less certain. We only use the words cold front when the high drop is 8 degrees or more.
