weather chart
Atmospheric conditions diagram
A weather chart is a map showing atmospheric conditions over a region at a particular time.
Symbols and lines indicate pressure systems, fronts, temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns.
Meteorologists use weather charts to analyze current conditions and forecast changes: The weather chart shows a cold front moving through tomorrow.
