Fair weather could be indicated by these two types of clouds.
What are cirrus and cumulus clouds?
This storm is funnel-shaped and covers a narrow path, yet it is extremely destructive.
What is a tornado?
Low pressure brings this weather.
What is lousy, rainy weather?
This measures air pressure.
What is a barometer?
You would expect drizzle or light rain from this cloud.
What is a stratus cloud?
A storm that develops from a low pressure system in the Atlantic Ocean near the equator with wind speeds around 80 mph.
What is a hurricane?
You will get this weather with high air pressure.
What is happy, dry, sunny (fair) weather?
This measures air temperature.
What is a thermometer?
These clouds are white and fluffy like cotton balls with flat bottoms. They indicate fair weather.
What are cumulus clouds?
This causes lightning in a thunderstorm.
What is static electricity?
On a weather map, this shape on a curved line indicates a cold front.
What is a triangle?
This measures wind direction.
What is a wind/weather vane.
Give three attributes of a cirrus cloud.
What is white, thin, and wispy like feathers?
A boundary separating air masses of different air pressure, wind, and humidity.
What is a front?
On a weather map, this shape on a curved line indicates a warm front.
What is a half-circle?
This measures how much precipitation has fallen.
What is a rain gauge?
You see thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes from this type of cloud.
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
The average temperatures in Richmond in July are:
Week 1: 80 F
Week 2: 83 F
Week 3: 87 F
Joe predicts Week 4 will be 91 F. Sue predicts 82 F. Decide whose prediction is most likely correct and explain.
Joe is most likely correct since temperatures have been rising all month.
The barometer shows the air pressure going up over the past few hours. These two things are indicated by the rise.
What are dry, sunny weather and high pressure?
This measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
