Example: in the middle of the map you can
see the current position of the tropical low-
pressure area (cyclone). To the right of this
a solid line shows the previous path with
positions and times. The forecast for the
direction of propagation is shown by a dot-
ted line with positions and times.
Explanation
The weather front moves
minimally. The weather
remains changeable in this
area.
When the faster cold front
catches up and joins the
warm front ahead of it, an
occluded front is formed.
The weather remains
changeable and rainy
within an occlusion.
