Question 7: For EACH of the low pressure centers described in question 6, describe the location and type of any fronts that seem to be associated with each low. (ie is touching the low or extending out from the low). Pennsylvania • Cold front is extending out from the low Southern California Surface trough is touching the low Southeast Colorado • The surface trough is touching the low Now we will look at the current satellite imagery. Go to this page for satellite imagery: Real-time Weather Data Select "Infrared - Longwave" from the radio buttons on the left. Click on "Contiguous U.S." on the map. Right-click (or ctrl-click) and select "Save image." Upload the map when you submit the assignment. This map shows cloud top temperatures. Blues are higher colder cloud tops, while greens and yellows are lower warmer cloud tops. Oranges and reds are areas of no or very low clouds. Contiguous U. S.

Look the two images side by side. Question 8: For EACH of the low pressure areas described in question 6, describe the clouds at the location of the low pressure center. Cold fronts are typically linked to unfavorable weather conditions, often accompanied by thunder and lightning. For the low-pressure centers in the state of Columbia and North Carolina, the cloud type typically observed would be cumulonimbus clouds, which are frequently associated with thunderstorms, lightning, and poor weather. Similarly, in Illinois, the low-pressure center is also associated with the presence of thunderstorm clouds, specifically cumulonimbus clouds. Question 9: For EACH of the fronts described in question 7, describe the clouds along the fronts. Question 10: Describe how you could use your knowledge of the general circulation of the atmosphere, airmasses and fronts, and the weather map and satellite image you downloaded above to forecast the weather for Michigan over the next 24 hours. There are partly cloudy weather at southeastern part of Michigan, but when the day progresses the clouds will be cleared. Wind will come from Northwest direction with low speed of around 5 knots. The temperature will be around 70 to 80 OF No precipitation will occur. Relatively colder weather will be observed because 1 or two days ago cold front was passed from Michigan as shown on the above images. Question 11: Using the method you describe in question 10, what would be your best guess for what the weather will be like in Salt Lake City, UT over the next 24 hours? Be as detailed as possible, AND describe WHY you came up with this forecast. Currently, there is clear sky and a warm weather at Salt lake city, Utah. Because it is in warm sector. The temperature range would be around 80 OF to 95 OF by the day time. Wind is coming from Southeast direction but as the day progress the will will come from Northwest direction and the speed will be around 5 knots. It is because cold front is approaching towards Nevada and south west region of Canada and will reach the Salt lake city by tomorrow (13 July) afternoon. So, the next 24 hours would be clear sky and very less likely to be cloudy situation over salt lake city.
