A couple is traveling from San Francisco to Dallas. Dallas is experiencing a high-pressure system.

Based on this information, does the couple need to pack an umbrella?

• Yes, this system will cause air to rise and water vapor to condense, forming rain clouds.

• Yes, this system will create a cold front, creating a high chance of clouds and rain storms.

• 
  No, this system will cause air to sink, bringing high winds that would destroy an umbrella.

• 
  No, this system will cause air to sink, so clouds cannot form, bringing light winds and clear skies.

High Pressuer =

• Happy Weather

• Lousy Weather
