Predict Weather Patterns Practice Test

Weather map evidence for the next 12 hours: A low-pressure center (L) is located west of City R. A cold front extends south from the low, and a warm front extends east. Arrows show the whole system moving east. Current observations at City R: falling air pressure, increasing clouds, light rain starting, wind from the southeast.

Based on these patterns and evidence (not certainty), which weather outcome is most likely at City R in the next 12 hours?

A 3-day trend for Lake City is shown below (each day measured at the same time). A warm front is drawn on the map south of Lake City with arrows showing it moving north.

• Day 1: cooler temperature, steady light rain, overcast
• Day 2: temperature rising, drizzle, low clouds
• Day 3 (today): warmer, humid, clouds thinning, pressure stopped falling

Using the trend and the front’s movement, what is most likely for the next 12–24 hours (probabilistically)?
