Using the weather map from the board in class (shown below), your textbook and notes, write a weather report for each box A-E. Assume the map represents late spring weather. In your report consider:
- General weather based on the pressure system in each box
- Specific conditions related to fronts: cloud types and precipitation, location relative to fronts, ahead of fronts, behind fronts, temperature changes, consider location and elevation
- Special situations based on location or other factors
- Daytime heating
Particles from a massive solar flare Monday are en route to earth, and they may have interesting effects in our own atmosphere. When charged emissions from solar flares encounter atoms in Earth’s ionosphere, they stimulate the phenomenon we know as the aurora borealis or “northern lights”. Usually seen in extreme northern parts of the US and Canada, this flare might result in auroras being seen as far south as Washington DC.
