Synoptic weather maps “the big picture map”

What is a synoptic map? A synoptic map is the overall weather conditions of a given area SYNOPSIS It looks at multiple factors such as precipitation type and amounts, lightning strikes, wind direction and speed, dew point, barometric pressure, and more Synoptic maps are typically paired with a radar overlay Radar detects type and amount of precipitation and tracks its immediate direction

Pressure systems There are 2 main types of pressure systems High pressure system: Low pressure system:

Pressure systems HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS CLEAR weather Pushes out Rotates clockwise

Pressure systems LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS STORMY weather Pulls IN Rotates counter-clockwise

fronts Warm fronts Cold fronts Occluded fronts

Radar weather map Collects The heavier/ more dense the returned energy the heavier the precipitation.
