Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.56 Interpret Simple Weather Maps and Forecasts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the five-town regional map. West Harbor is rainy at 60 F. Pine Town is cloudy at 62 F. Center City is cloudy at 64 F. East Grove is sunny at 66 F. Far East Bay is sunny at 67 F. Arrows show weather moving east. Which summary is best?
AThe whole region has the same weather now.
BRainy weather is in the west and may spread east across the region later.
CThe east side is stormiest right now.
DThe map proves the region will stay the same for a week.
Solution & Explanation:The map shows wetter weather in the west, drier weather in the east, and arrows pointing east, so rainy weather may spread east later.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which student explanation shows the best understanding of forecast uncertainty?
A'The map proves exactly what will happen at 4:17 p.m.'
B'Because rain is west of us and moving east, we may get rain later.'
C'If it is sunny now, it can never rain today.'
D'Temperature does not matter on weather maps.'
Solution & Explanation:This explanation uses the map evidence and the word may to show that a forecast is a likely prediction, not an exact promise.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A class wants to test whether the forecast was correct. What is the best follow-up observation?
ACheck later to see whether the rain reaches the town as predicted.
BCount the number of crayons in the room.
CAsk which student likes cloudy days.
DMeasure the height of a bookshelf.
Solution & Explanation:The best test is to observe later whether the predicted weather actually happens in the town.
