You are on the temperature team. Your team studies the temperature readings for days 1 - 3. Then you predict what New York City's temperature will be on day 4 and how it will affect the city's weather that day. That's when the events are scheduled. Think about the following questions:

1. How has the temperature changed from day 1 to day 3?
2. What do those results mean?
3. Do you notice any strong trends or patterns?

Your team must be prepared to report your findings to Weather Central at the beginning of the videoconference. Then you will work together to see what weather conditions develop on day 4.

Before the Event

• Research your team's topic (air pressure, humidity, winds, or temperature).
• Familiarize yourself with the STORM-E web site.
• Locate, study, and complete your team's days 1 - 3 maps and graphs.
• Has the data changed from day 1 to 3? What do those results mean?
• Do you notice any strong trends or patterns?
• Your team must be prepared to report to Weather Central at the beginning of the videoconference. Include a prediction of weather conditions on day 4.

 

On the Day of the Event

• Present your team report including prediction to Weather Central.
• Do you need any additional information? Ask Weather Central or other weather teams for help.
• Report any forecast revisions or updates to Weather Central.
• Locate, study, and complete the day 4 map. Examine the information to see how closely it matches your predictions. Do you need to change your forecast?
• Continue to record and analyze weather data.
• Be prepared to give a final report to Weather Central at the end of the videoconference.
