Step 5: Locate fronts and forecast weather patterns.
a) Use Map D in the Data section.
b) Label the high pressure area with an H.
c) Label the low pressure area with an L.
d) Recall that fronts occur where there are large changes in temperature, air pressure, and
wind speed. Remember that the more fletches, or lines, on a weather symbol indicate higher
wind speeds. Using a blue colored pencil, draw and label the cold front on the map.
e) Using a red colored pencil, draw and label the warm front on the map.
f) Use the map to answer the follow-up questions.
