Stations A and B are plotted on the synoptic map. Which station reports the higher relative humidity?

On the map, Stations C and D both have wind barbs. Which station reports the stronger wind?

Stations E and F lie on opposite sides of the cold front. Which station is in the colder, drier air mass?

Compare the coded pressures at Stations G and H. Which station reports the higher actual sea-level pressure?

Stations I and J are plotted with a low-pressure center. Which station is closer to the low center?

Stations K and L report different sky cover. Which station reports more cloud cover?

Stations M and N are plotted on the same map. Which station reports the warmer air temperature?

Compare Stations O and P. Which station reports the greater dew point temperature?

Stations Q and R have different temperature-dew point spreads. Which station reports the lower relative humidity?

Stations S and T sit in different isobar spacing on the map. Which station is in the stronger pressure gradient?

Use the station models for Stations A and B. What feature most likely lies between them?

Use the map. What type of front separates Stations C and D?

A front on the map separates cool northeast winds from warm southerly winds, but neither air mass is clearly advancing. What front is this?

Near the low center, the plotted boundary shows a cold front catching a warm front. What type of front is at Station G?

Station I is plotted at the lowest pressures with winds curving counterclockwise around it. What weather system center is closest?

Station K lies in clear weather near the highest plotted pressure, with winds around the center. What system is it inside?

Use the map. What part of the cyclone is Station M in?

Station O is colder and drier than Station P and lies west of the cold-front symbols. Where is Station O located?

Station Q is cool, overcast, and has an easterly wind on the cool side of the warm-front symbols. Where is it located?

Station S sits along the front wrapping around the low where colder air has overtaken the warm front. Which feature is nearest Station S?
