Be sure to show your work. Eureka Sacramento San Francisco Los Angeles San Diego 21 The weather map above shows a cold front moving toward San Francisco and a warm front moving away from San Diego on Tuesday morning. • What causes the movement of air masses in a front? • Predict the weather for San Francisco and for San Diego for Wednesday morning. Each prediction should answer these questions: • How will Wednesday’s temperature compare to Tuesday’s temperature? • Is there likely to be precipitation? Normally the temperatures in San Francisco do not change as much as the temperatures in Sacramento. • Explain why the temperatures in Sacramento have greater changes than the temperatures in San Francisco.
