Meteorologist

You will create a 1-2 minute news brief on the hurricane situation and its projected path. The water temperature is very warm (74 degrees Farenheit) in miami and a cold front has just moved in causing a change in air temperature. High pressure is also present in what is known as the Bermuda High.

Think about how a hurricane starts and what it needs to gain more energy.

Make your predictions about what the hurricane will do and where it will go. Remember it is impossible to be 100% correct in your predictions. Just support why you think the hurricane will take a certain path with the information you have learned throughout the project. The hurricane aiming tool found below should help you visualize this.
