The southeastern portion of the country is influenced by a mild maritime tropical (mT) air mass. The high-pressure area around Idaho is under the influence of a continental polar (cP) air mass. Note the higher temperatures and the southerly winds moving northward toward the warm front that stretches from the center of low pressure in Wisconsin, across Michigan, and into Pennsylvania. Draw in the warm front using the proper warm-front symbol (the warm front line is already started for you on the map). **Weather Map Overview**This weather map displays recorded atmospheric conditions across the contiguous United States. Key elements presented include temperature, wind direction and speed, and atmospheric pressure. **Key Features:**1. **Temperature:** - Shown in bold numbers next to the weather stations. - Temperatures range from single digits in the northern regions to higher values in the southern areas.2. **Wind:** - Wind direction is indicated by arrows pointing in the direction the wind is blowing. - Wind speed is denoted by the number of "feathers" on the arrow; more feathers represent higher wind speeds.3. **Atmospheric Pressure:** - Measured in millibars (mb) and indicated with isobars (lines connecting areas of equal pressure). - High and low-pressure areas are marked with letters "H" and "L", respectively. - Notable pressure areas include a high-pressure zone over the northwestern states at 1032 mb and a low-pressure zone in the Great Lakes region at 996 mb.4. **Precipitation:** - Shown by shaded areas, usually indicating regions experiencing rain or snow.5. **Fronts:** - Although not explicitly marked with symbols, fronts are often inferred by changes in temperature and wind direction near pressure zones.This map serves as an educational tool to understand basic meteorological data representation and to interpret weather conditions across large geographic areas.
