Hello I'm weather announcer Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we're going to be talking about the weather. In this clip let's talk about how to read a weather map now it depends what weather maps you will looking at so it could be very technical and very detailed so where do we surface analysis let's strip it down to the bare bones. Of course in earlier segments we've been talking about high and low pressure systems, cold fronts and warm fronts, whenever your watching the weather on the television stations thats what your going to see. If your reading the weather map it is going to be the bare bones it's going to tell you when the high pressure is moving in and when the low pressure is moving in. The cold fronts and the warm fronts and such they want to give you in simplest terms and that's really going to keep it simple for you as well. Especially just when your starting out and starting to read weather maps so start with the high and low pressure systems, the frontal systems the warm the cold fronts, stationary fronts, trops and such but start there and then in the next segment I'll show you where you can develop to we'll do a surface analysis and put walls to look at weather plots in the upcoming segment and you'll see how just detailed some of these weather maps can get.
