Final Project In the final project, you will have to use previous labs to help you work through the questions. This project is worth 30% of the lab grade. Part1:Interpreting a Basic Weather Map As we begin, look at the October 2010 storm on the map in the following page. 1. What fronts are present on the map? What type of large weather system is shown on the map? (6 pts) 2. What is the lowest isoline (i.e., isobar) for surface air pressure and where is it located? (6 pts)

3. Please draw a station model for each of the locations labeled on the map. (20 pts) (You can draw on a separate sheet of paper and then copy/paste the pictures into the lab document. There is no need to print the whole lab off). A. B. C. D. 4. On the map please draw in and label (with Word or PDF tools) the warm sector, cold sector, and cool sector. Please draw an arrow to indicate which direction each sector is moving. (8 pts)

5. Please describe in detail what the current weather would be like at each location. I am looking for at least 3 or 4 sentences describing the weather at each location. Think about all the weather variables we have discussed in class. (20 pts) A. B. C. D.

Part 2: Forecasting 6. Based on what you have learned about midlatitude cyclones and the tendencies in pressure, temperature, and wind associated with warm and cold fronts make a prediction for each location over the next 48 hours. (40 pts) These predictions should include:  Precipitation (Rain, Snow, or None)  Wind (Direction)  Temperature (Rising, Falling, or Steady)–Initial value given  Pressure (Rising, Falling, or Steady)–Initial value given A. B. C. D.
