No closings

Question: Why is the coldest part of the morning just before the dawn?

Answer: On a fair night with light winds and no frontal passages, the earth's surface loses heat by way of outgoing infrared radiation, and in turn cools the air in the lower atmosphere. This cooling process continues until incoming radiation from the rising sun begins to exceed the outgoing radiation, and the temperature starts to climb again. While there can be exceptions, the lowest temperature often occurs a little after sunrise as opposed to actually happening before the dawn.
