A gust front is the leading edge of a thunderstorm's outflow. As it moves over an area, it brings in cool air which drops the temperature. The gust front also causes a sudden shift in wind direction and increase in wind speed, creating strong and gusty winds. Therefore, the correct observation during the passage of a gust front would be temperatures dropping and winds becoming strong and gusty.
