Question

Below is a surface weather map showing a large extra-tropical cyclone. Drawn on this map are the fronts (collision zones between air masses and focal points for significant weather) associated with this low-pressure system along with the cloud field and storm track. Complete the tasks given below. (Hint: Check out Figures 10.4 and 10.5 to help you answer these questions).

Label precipitation types next to each letter that are typically experienced around an extra-tropical cyclone. Use the proper weather symbols. Do not crowd your drawing with a lot of weather symbols. (Check out Figure 3.1 for a short list of significant weather symbols.)

Given the current location of the low-pressure center and its storm track (dashed line) what would the formal name of this cyclone be? ________________________________

Draw three arrows that represent how the winds will circulate around this low-pressure system. (Hint: look at slide #3 in your notes on Winter Storms)

Given the current location of this low-pressure system, what type of weather conditions would we experience at U of I. (Circle the correct answer.)

Wind direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)

Temperature (below 32°F, at 32°F, above 32°F)

Significant weather (snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, thunderstorms)
