Weather Extravaganza


Well well well,

Wouldn't you know it? Today the high pressure air mass is on the way out and the low pressure is in. Check your barometer, kids, because today its all about the occluded front pushing past us, bringing rain and storms. A front is just the boundary between two air masses. When we have low pressure, air is rising slowly, bringing moisture and heat high up into the sky, where it cools down and condenses, making clouds and rain. Tomorrow we will have a new air mass over us, and with it it will bring different weather. Fantastic! This weekend you can witness everything we have discussed... the water cycle, low and high pressure, air masses, and more!

Keep watching out that window! Good luck to everyone taking the specialized high school test today, I wish you the best!
