Noticing the Weather

When you woke up this morning, were there clouds? Did you notice? Were there clouds yesterday? Usually people don't really pay attention to the weather, unless it rains at the baseball game or the fog skews the view of the fireworks. It may not always seem like the weather has a pattern, but it does. By tracking the weather, the patterns emerge and predictions can be made.

Activity:

• Look at the skycover forecast map and find the region in which you live. 

• According to the map, and what you can see outside, is the forecast correct for the current time? What will happen to the weather in the next few hours?

Remember to write you answers in the comments.

When were you ever amazed, terrified or otherwise awed by the weather?
