Exploring Weather Fronts in 815 Weather Review

The video tutorial explains weather fronts, including cold and warm fronts, and their impact on weather patterns. It covers the role of air density in front formation, the characteristics of low and high-pressure systems, and how the jet stream influences weather movement across the U.S. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for accurate weather forecasting.
