Do Now 1)Watch a weather broadcast on WRAL.comWRAL.com 2)In your notebook, write down any weather terms that you hear or see and the forecast.

Compare and Contrast In your science notebook, compare & contrast the following. You may use a Venn diagram, double bubble map, or chart Continental Polar Maritime Tropical Cold Front Warm Front

Compare and Contrast In your science notebook, compare & contrast the following. You may use a Venn diagram, double bubble map, or chart Continental Polar Maritime Tropical Cold Front Warm Front Both air masses Both very large Change temp & humidity Produce stormy weather when These two air masses meet Cold, dry air mass Forms over land up North (ex. Canada) Can produce cold fronts Warm, moist air mass Forms in South over water (ex. Caribbean or Florida) Can produce warm fronts and tropical storms Both fronts Both change the temp and weather in an area. Both can bring precipitation Cold air moves in and pushes warm air UP (quick) Can produce tall cumulonimbus clouds and Thunderstorms Air behind is cooler Warm air moves in and rides over cold air (slow) Can produce flat stratus clouds and steady rain
