Frontal Location Plot
Frontal locations are
denoted by bold lines in the following colors:
High
and Low pressure systems are plotted with H and L and the
associated pressure in millibars is displayed below the letter.
NOTE: Frontal data are only available every 3 hours so fronts may
not exactly match the weather conditions. A label at the bottom left
denotes what time the fronts are valid. |
Pressure/Isobar
Contours
The pressure
contours (or isobars) are plotted as blue lines every 4
millibars and indicate positioning and extent of various
pressure systems. |
