Predicting the Weather

What type of weather will a LOW pressure system bring? As a low pressure system approaches the pressure will drop due to rising air. As the air rises.

Air Pressure. High and Low Pressure Areas High pressure causes air to sink Usually results in several days of clear sunny skies Air rises in low pressure.

Fronts, Weather Instruments & Weather Maps

Weather Fronts

Warm Front Warm air approaches colder air and overtakes it…rising slowly and creating widespread showers.

Cold Front Cold front rapidly lifts warm air causing vigorous thunderstorms and rain

Stationary Front When a warm or cold front stops moving Once this boundary resumes its forward motion, it once again becomes a warm front or cold front

Occluded Front When a cold front overtakes a warm front.

Weather Maps & Station Models
