Part 2: The Map

Given the attached weather map, locate the following:

1. The regions experiencing cloud cover. This can be pretty general, like states, provinces, etc. (Write your answer here, not on the map.)

 

2. The station reporting the lowest pressure. Mark this on your map with a red L.

 

Questions about the map--Concept questions:

1. What do you notice about the relationship between weather/cloud cover and the lowest pressure?

 

2. How are the winds circulating around the low? (clockwise=anticyclonic or counterclockwise=cyclonic)

 

3. What then would you GUESS about the weather/cloud cover around the highest pressure? (Don’t look at the map!! It won't help you here.)

 

4. How would you GUESS winds are circulating around the high?
