Scientists called meteorologists look for patterns to predict the weather. They use air temperature to make predictions. When a warm body of air meets a cold body of air, a storm is likely. Meteorologists also use atmospheric pressure to predict the weather. Atmospheric pressure measures how much the tiny molecules in the atmosphere are pressing down on an area of the planet. If the air pressure rises, the weather will probably be calm with clear skies. When the pressure drops, there is a good chance of storms. The condition of the sky can also be used to predict the weather. If clouds get thicker, rain is likely to occur soon. When there is fog in the morning, the weather will usually be fair later in the day. If a rainstorm comes in, pre-storm winds will blow the fog away. Patterns in temperature, pressure and cloud cover help meteorologists predict the weather.
