A Weather Forecasting Excercise
Your job is to forecast the high temperature, cloud cover, wind direction and whether it will be raining or snowing at select locations across the country on the afternoon of March 26th. Here is the satellite image from March 25th and the weather map you just analized with the locations plotted on it:

Below is a map that shows the high temperatures from the afternoon of March 25th. Your forecast is for for the next day, the afternoon of March 26th. Don't forget that as the fronts move east across the country cooler air will follow the cold fronts and milder air will follow the warm fronts.


You might want to check the satellite loop again to forecast cloud cover. You can also reference the station weather plots for the morning of March 26th for more information.
