Question

A weather map shows temperature, wind speed and direction, weather conditions, warm and cold fronts, air pressure, and pressure systems.
The warm front is moving toward the
.

There is a
sitting in the center of the map.

The arrow points to the weather in the Missouri area. There, the temperature is
°F, and the winds are blowing from the
at about 25 knots.

The area surrounding the cold front has mostly
skies.

Answer 1

I can’t see the map you’re describing, so I can’t fill the blanks directly. Please upload the weather map image (or type the station/model numbers and symbols you see around Missouri) and I’ll fill them in.

If you want to find the answers yourself, here’s how to read each blank:

- Warm front is moving toward the ___:
- Look for the red line with semicircles. The semicircles point in the direction the warm air is moving (so “east,” “northeast,” etc.).

- There is a ___ sitting in the center of the map:
- The center symbol will be an H (high) or L (low). Read that letter to fill “high pressure” or “low pressure.”

- In Missouri: temperature is ___°F, and winds are blowing from the ___ at about 25 knots:
- Temperature: read the number (usually near the station plot).
- Wind: read the wind barb. The shaft points from the direction the wind is coming from (for example, a barb pointing from the southwest means winds from the southwest). A 25‑kt wind is shown as two full barbs (2×10 = 20) plus one half‑barb (5) = 25 knots.

- The area surrounding the cold front has mostly ___ skies:
- Cold fronts are normally associated with clouds and precipitation ahead of the front and clearing behind it. Typical fill-ins are “cloudy,” “overcast with precipitation,” or “showery/unstable” depending on the map depiction.

If you upload the map or tell me the symbols/numbers around Missouri, I’ll fill in the exact words.
