Interpret Barometric Pressure Data and Weather Predictions

Use the Daily Weather Map and the Weather Data for Selected Cities table in the Student Guide to answer the
following questions.
1. Do you think Tampa will clear within the next 12 hours? Explain your answer.
Answer: Yes, Tampa will be clearing in the next 12 hours because the barometric pressure has increased and this
clears skies and slows cloud development.

2. What type of weather is in store for Miami within the next 12 hours? Explain your answer.
Answer: There will be more clouds and most likely a storm because the barometric pressure is falling.

3. In a hypothetical city such as Gotham City, the temperature is dropping and the skies are clearing. How would
the barometer be changing?
Answer: It would be rising.

4. On another day in Gotham City, the temperature is rising, the skies are getting cloudy, and some precipitation
begins to fall. How would the barometer be changing?
Answer: The barometer would be dropping.
