W EATHER F ORECASTING Making Simple Observations Meteorologists: are scientists who study the causes of weather and try to predict it Interpreting Complex Data Meteorologists use maps, charts, and computers to analyze weather data and to prepare weather forecasts Where do weather reporters get their information? National Weather Service uses balloons, satellites, radar, and surface instruments to gather weather data

W EATHER T ECHNOLOGY Technological improvements in gathering weather data and using computers have improved the accuracy of weather forecasts Weather Balloons Weather Satellites Automated Weather Stations Computer Forecasts

R EADING W EATHER MAPS Weather Service Maps Isobars are lines joining places on the map that have the same air pressure Isotherms are lines joining places that have the same temperature (Fahrenheit/Celsius) Newspaper Weather Maps Standard symbols on weather maps show fronts, areas of high and low pressure, types of precipitations, and temperatures Limits of Weather Forecasts

W EATHER R EPORT P.604 Find a current weather map from a newspaper. Use the map to write a brief weather report for your region. Include a description of the various weather symbols used on the map
