Creates thermal Gradients (different temperatures within adjacent masses). This causes expansion of the warmer mass and thereby mechanical motion that builds until it significantly alters winds and evaporation of water.

The energy from the Sun does not influence the global patterns of atmospheric movement, it causes them. Without the Sun's energy, there would be no atmospheric movement - your question implies something else causes the atmospheric movement and the Sun modifies these movements. This is not the case.

by emitting different energy level, making the climate different throughout the regions. The various climate meets, causing rain storms, clear skies, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

What will happen to weather patterns if global warming continues?

Weather patterns will change, and are changing already. Warming is energy, and this extra energy in the atmosphere gives more strength to storms, changes wind and ocean current directions, and moves rain from its usual patterns.


How do global factors influence local weather conditions?

Four global patterns that influence local weather are as follows: wind patterns, elevation or altitude, topography, and the locations latitude. Climate is also a main factor.
