Predicting the Future: How Does a Weather Forecast Work?

Abstract

Accurate weather forecasts are very useful, because they tell people what kind of weather to expect in the next few days. But how can we predict what will happen in the future? This article will explain how meteorologists, the people who study and work with the conditions that happen in the atmosphere, predict tomorrow’s weather. To help you understand weather predictions, we will first explain how changes in the atmosphere result in various types of weather. In this article, we will tell you how meteorologists turn knowledge of the conditions in the atmosphere into a weather forecast, just like you see in the news or on a weather app!
