The warm sector between the warm and cold fronts is typically a region of clear skies due to sinking air. This is because warm air rises over the warm and cold fronts, but sinks in the region between the fronts (warm sector). Therefore, cloud formation is inhibited, resulting in clear conditions. Southeasterly winds and declining dew points may be present in the warm sector, but they are not generally characterizing features. Squall lines are typically associated with the cold front, not the warm sector.
