Weather Forecasting

Cold Front What type of weather does this front bring? Cooler temperatures clouds precipitation (quick, intense, and more localized storms) wind

Warm Front What type of weather does this front bring? Warmer temperatures Clouds precipitation (longer lasting and spread out) wind Warm Front and Cold Front Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huKYKykjcm0

Weather Symbols L H Low Pressure High Pressure Cloudy skies Steady precipitation Counterclockwise rotation of air High Pressure Clear/Sunny skies Calm weather Clockwise rotation of air

Warm and Cold Fronts Warm and Cold Front Clip How do weather patterns generally move across the United States? Why? Weather fronts move from the west to the east because the prevailing winds are from the west (Prevailing Westerlies).
