Wind Direction What is to usually follow North Winds Cold and dry weather South Winds Warm and damp East Winds Storms and wind West Winds Normal
5
Barometers Are used to check the pressure changes in the area.
6
Pressure Systems
7
High Pressure system High-pressure systems are usually associated with fair weather. This is because as the air sinks, it warms and is able to hold more water vapor. Thus, in these systems, clouds tend to evaporate and the air stabilizes. Storms have a hard time forming in stable air = Clear Sky's and low humidity
8
Low Pressure Systems Usually means cloudy or stormy weather is at hand
A system forms based on the interaction between the atmosphere and large bodies of water. When low pressure builds over warm water, it may begin to organize and can form a tropical wave, which can turn into a hurricane
9
Signs bad weather is coming
