You look out your window on a sunny morning and daydream about your after-school plans. You are making your own weather forecast as you plan to go to the park, play basketball, or go to practice. You base your forecast on your observations and your past experiences. Sometimes you might think you know what the weather will be like, but it changes.
Weather forecasts are important to many people.
Discover for yourself how weather patterns are predicted and what you need to know to be able to predict the weather. Join us as we use real time Internet activities to investigate how meteorologists use what they know about atmosphere, temperature, air pressure, and humidity to predict the weather.
