Use the following information to make a reasonable weather forecast for the next day: Thursday May 15, 2014
Over the course of the next 24 hours the low pressure system in Louisiana will track to the northeast along the cold front . The cold front will approach the major cities of the northeast (Philadelphia, New York, and Boston) on Thursday. This will place the Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast in the warm sector and at risk for severe thunderstorms. Atlanta can expect stormy conditions to continue while places like Chicago and other areas in the Midwest will see improving and pleasant weather conditions. The Southwest will continue to bake in their heat wave as the dome of high pressure remains stationary.
