What do the brown dotted lines on a weather map mean?

Depends on which lines you're talking about. If you're talking about circles that cover the map (often in black or gray) then those are isobars which are lines of equal pressure (ie. the barometer reads the same everywhere along a line)....If you're talking about a blue line with triangles, that means a cold front with cooler/drier air behind it. A red line with round barbs means a warm front with warmer air behind it. There are many others, but these are the most common seen on television weather forecasts.


Can a weather map and weather symbols be used to forecast the weather accurately?

That is what meteorologists use to show us what is going on with the weather and what weather to expect. The map and symbols that you see on the television are only a very small part of how they come up with a forecast. There are weather models and different weather data that they use to actually come up with the forecast and make the map you see on television.

Who uses a synoptic map?

It is used by meteorologists, the men and women who study weather patterns and forecast up-coming conditions, especially those related to possible storms or severe weather. A synoptic weather map is often colorful (you may have seen one on TV if you watched the forecast on your favorite station), and it can display weather events occurring in a number of parts of the country simultaneously-- in fact, the word "synoptic" comes from the Greek word for "seen together" or "at the same time."
