    Study Notes

    • Probability of precipitation is the likelihood of rain at any point in the area on a given day.
    • Weather depends on heat from the sun and water.
    • Air masses flow from high pressure to low pressure, causing weather to change over time.
    • Sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide.
    • Pressure is measured with a barometer, and a rising barometer indicates high pressure.
    • Air masses bring different types of weather depending on their source.
    • Meteorologists identify air masses by the regions from which they originate: polar, tropical, continental, or maritime.
    • Fronts are boundaries between air masses that give information to predict temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
    • Cold fronts form where a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass, causing rapid precipitation and thunderstorms.
    • Warm fronts form where a warm air mass moves up and over a cold air mass, bringing layered stratus clouds and increasing air pressure and temperature when the front passes.
