Weather Map And Summary Description

The letter, L on the map represents low pressure and the letter H on the map represents high-pressure. The blue lines with triangles on them represent a cold front and the red lines with half circles on them represent a warm front. A stationary front will be a red and blue line with alternating blue triangles and red half circles. An occluded front will be indicated by a purple line with purple half circles and purple triangles.
