Cool air also generally holds less water vapor than warm air. This is why relative humidity can be low even in places that are relatively humid during warmer seasons. When air cools, its capacity to hold water vapor decreases, often leading to condensation if the air is saturated. Evaporative...
Humid air is difficult to cool because of this water content. Also it is actually less dense than "dry" air at a given temperature. So an advancing cold front will cause the warmer humid air to rise and this will continue as the moisture content is "wrung out" allowing very significant...
