Today Mrs. Peterson showed the class this map and asked her class to answer this questions; "Have you ever wondered how a meteorologist knows if your day is going to be windy or what direction the wind is going to blow from? What does he look at to determine how your day will be?"

• Jose' : I think it is because they looked at the the bands and read different temperatures.

• Carol: I think those use the isotherms to determin which direction the winds are coming from.

• Asia: I think the lines represent the boundaries of the fronts. The numbers tell us the barametric pressure.

• Kendell: I think that the lines are isobars that represent the changes in the air pressure. You can identify how windy it is by how close the lines are.
