The forecast describes increasing cloudiness and cold temperatures followed by warmer temperatures, which are characteristic of a warm front. Additionally, the forecast mentions winds changing direction from easterly to southeasterly and southwesterly, which are also typical of a warm front. The mention of precipitation and the chance of snow or rain could indicate a developing low-pressure system along the front.
