Forecasting By examining weather maps, meteorologists can see how air masses, fronts, and high- and low-pressure systems are arranged. Weather forecasters figure out the weather that usually comes with these conditions and then make some predictions.

Can you predict the weather? Study this weather map. Then use that information to answer the following questions:

By studying the Earth's atmosphere, meteorologists are able to predict what the weather will be. However, there are a lot of variables that goes into predicting the weather. For this reason, the predictions are not 100% accurate. Meteorologists measure and study many aspects of the Earth's atmosphere. In order to forecast the weather, they study high and low pressure systems and the boundaries between them called weather fronts. We describe these in more detail below. Highs and Lows Knowing areas of high and low air pressure is important to predicting the weather because differences in air pressure causes wind to form. High pressure system - A high pressure system generally means good weather because it attracts cool and dry air. On a weather map a high pressure system is shown by a blue H.
