* Weather maps are used to show current weather conditions in an effort to predict future weather conditions. * You need to know what each symbol means.

FRONTS phschool The movement of air masses is determined by the prevailing winds and upper air currents This causes most local weather condition.

 Each Mass is described with a Temperature & Moisture  Ex: Hot / Dry  Ex: Cold / Moist.

DON’T BE FRONT’N!!!! Copy the definition under your Types of Weather chart A Weather front is a boundary between TWO DIFFERENT AIR MASSES Copy the definition under your Types of Weather chart A Weather front is a boundary between TWO DIFFERENT AIR MASSES Should look like this Don’t Be Front’N A Weather front is a boundary between TWO DIFFERENT AIR MASSES

DON’T BE FRONT’N!!!! Should look like this Fill in the Cold and Warm Air front chart Don’t Be Front’N A Weather front is a boundary between TWO DIFFERENT AIR MASSES

COLD FRONT WARM AIR COLD AIR A COLD FRONT forms when a cold air mass moves underneath a warm air mass. This causes violent storms SYMBOL:

WARM FRONT WARM AIR COLD AIR A WARM FRONT forms when a warm air mass PUSHES a cold air mass. This causes PROLONGED RAIN AND FOG. SYMBOL:

Independent Practice MAKE YOUR OWN WEATHER REPORT!!! Independent Practice MAKE YOUR OWN WEATHER REPORT!!! MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE….. HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WARM FRONT COLD FRONT Use the symbols we learned today to draw at least one of each of these things on your map. Below (or next to) your map write a weather report to explain the type of weather happening at each symbol on your map. EXAMPLE: There is a low pressure system over Wyoming, which will cause rain and thunderstorms. L
