How's the WEATHER?
When you ask someone what the weather is like today, they may reply, "It's a nice day out." Perhaps you'd like to know if it will rain later because you're planning to play at the park. Living in Florida, we go through a season of afternoon thunderstorms that can put an end to outdoor recess!

The weather affects what we do every day. It determines certain things such as how we’re going to dress, or if we should take an umbrella with us when going outside. It can rain on the day we wanted to play outside, or be too windy to be outside and be safe. Thunderstorms can bring lightning, and it’s important to stay inside to avoid being struck by lightning.

Multiple Choice
What are the characteristics of a high pressure system?
Wind and rain
Extremely high temperatures
Humidity, thunder, and lightning
Clear, sunny skies

Multiple Choice
The weather forecast tomorrow says there will be a 15 mph wind,
a high temperature of 52 degrees, and a pressure of 720 mb.
What three instruments will a meteorologist use to make this prediction?
Anemometer, thermometer, barometer
Thermometer, satellite image, hygrometer
Barometer, hygrometer, thermometer
Anemometer, satellite image, barometer

All of these observable, measurable factors determine the weather in a particular time and place. The most confusing is barometric pressure: Remember that rising pressure means good weather is on the way, and falling pressure means stormy weather is on the way. The lowest pressures are found at the center of hurricanes.
12
Multiple Choice
The lower the pressure, the ___________ the weather.
worse
better

Multiple Choice
Tyler saw that the barometer was dropping.
What can Tyler predict will most likely happen?

Sunshine and fair weather are on the way.

There are four kinds of clouds to be familiar with:
- Puffy, cumulus clouds usually don’t bring rain. However, when cumulus clouds continue to grow, especially during the summer, they can become thunderstorms.
-Thunderclouds are called cumulonimbus clouds.
-Cirrus clouds are high, wispy clouds, and do not lead to precipitation.
-Stratus clouds are low, flat layers of clouds that can fill the sky. Stratus clouds sometimes lead to all-day rainfall.
