A weather map shows the weather conditions over a large area for a particular period of time. Weather maps typically show high and low pressure regions, precipitation, and temperature. High pressure regions are associated with fair weather. Low pressure regions are associated with rain and storms. Warm and cold fronts are also shown on weather maps. Cold fronts often precede heavy rain. Cold fronts may bring cumulonimbus clouds and heavy precipitation. Thunderstorms may occur along the leading edge of a cold front. When looking at a weather map, cities behind a cold front may experience rain as shown by a shaded region. Cold fronts usually move from west to east across the United States. Warm fronts often precede moderate rain. When a warm front moves into a region, the warm air rises up over cooler stationary air forming nimbostratus clouds and bringing moderate precipitation.

According to this weather map, which city is currently experiencing rain?

a)

Houston

b)

Denver

c)

Miami

d)

Detroit
