A cold front brings cooler temperatures and precipitation. In this scenario, the sunny and warm afternoon was likely ahead of the cold front, the rain showers in the evening were associated with the passage of the front, and the clear skies and drop in temperatures that night were behind the front. A warm front typically brings warmer temperatures and precipitation, while a stationary front brings little movement in the weather pattern. Drylines are typically associated with thunderstorms and are not necessarily related to the weather pattern described in the scenario.
