What does cat 5 mean in a weather forecast?
In a weather forecast, "CAT 5" refers to Category 5 hurricanes, which are the most severe and intense hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson scale. These storms are characterized by extremely high wind speeds exceeding 157 mph and catastrophic damage potential.
Which form of severe weather has the greatest wind speeds?
Tornadoes have the greatest wind speeds among severe weather events, often exceeding 200 mph (321 km/h) or more.
On a weather map high wind speeds are indicated where are spaced close together.?
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.
How do you think meteorologists predicted the arrival of a hurricane befoure the 1990s?
They base their predicitions of past data on sea surface temperatures and upper air measurements.
Based on the weather map where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds?
Where isobars are spaced closest together

What infromation can you get from a weather map?
wind speeds and direction
What does a weather map tell us?
Temperatures,rainfall,& air pressures. There ARE more things that a weather map tells us
How windy was it at Lake City Florida on October 30 2014?
Like most places around the world the wind speeds changed directions and speeds all throughout the day on October 30, 2014 in the City of Lake, Fla. So it is nearly impossible to estimate how "windy" it was in the City of Lake, Fla. However, you can view the forecast for the last 2 months at The Weather Channel's website, weather.com.
What is the Saturn general weather?
Weather on saturn is generally very windy, with wind speeds up to 1,100 mph.
Which form of severe weather has the greatest wind speeds?
Tornadoes have the greatest wind speeds among severe weather events, often exceeding 200 mph (321 km/h) or more.
Without technology how would forecast the weather?
Depends on exactly how much of a lacking of technology we're talking about. In the old days without computers, forecasters used weather instruments (thermometers, barometers, etc.) to take measurements at ground level along with weather balloons to measure conditions up in the atmosphere. This will give a basic idea of the short term weather (next day or two) although the risk is high that the forecast will not turn out correct. This is the same process that is done today, however the measurements are entered into computers that can do millions of physics equations in a short amount of time at speeds that no human could do. These millions of complex equations allow for a much more accurate forecast than relying on just a few basic equations done by a humans. The science and technology still is not adequate enough to produce an accurate forecast at all times, but the accuracy has improved significantly with computer model technology. Some may define weather instruments (thermometers, barometers, etc) as "technology"...If you consider that to be technology and take those out of the equation, then you're more or less depending on what you can feel and see. For example, you can see signs in the clouds that a storm system is approaching or that thunderstorms are getting ready to develop. You can also feel if temperatures are warming/cooling or if it's becoming more humid. These can give a half-way accurate forecast for the next few hours, but are completely useless after about 12 hours. The invention of weather instruments allowed for a very accurate forecast for the next few hours and a half-way accurate forecast up to about 2 or 3 days in advance. Now with computer model technology, it allows on average for a very accurate forecast for 2 to 3 days, with a half-way accurate forecast up to the 7 to 10 day range.
Why dp pilots need a weather forecast?
The prime reason for having a weather forecast is so the pilot can make an informed decision about whether it is safe to fly and if it is, to plan their route to avoid hazardous weather - thunderstorms, hail, icing conditions etc. Because the weather and wind can vary with altitude, a pilot can also determine the best route and altitude to fly at - airline pilots do this all the time taking advantage of jet streams - high altitude, fast moving air currents traveling at speeds of up to 200kph - this can save vast quantities of fuel over time. Aviation meteorology is a complex, but interesting subject that every pilot must know about whether a private or commercial pilot.
Where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds based on a weather map?
Where isobars are spaced closest together
When driving in foggy weather the driver should not their headlights and travel at dramatically higher speeds?
Not use their high beams and drive dramatically lower speeds.
On a weather map high wind speeds are indicated where are spaced close together.?
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.
What can be said about the speeds of the two masses at the bottom of their respective paths?
The speeds of the two masses at the bottom of their paths will be the same if they started from the same height, regardless of their masses.
