The forecast mentions that the weather will initially be cool and then become rainy, which suggests that an occluded front is approaching. The forecast then notes that temperatures will become slightly warmer and winds will shift from southeasterly to westerly or northwesterly, which are typical of a warm-type occluded front. Therefore, choice C, warm-type occluded front, is the best answer.
