A barometer measures the air pressure. Imagine that the barometer in Key West is falling. What does this indicate about the weather?
It will be warmer and wetter than usual.
increased flooding
how the sun is the main source of energy for the water cycle
The jet stream flows from west to east.
water turning from a vapor into rain droplets
a high amount of water vapor in the air
A low-pressure system is moving toward Key West.
Fog forms.
