  10. 19. Floods Sudden, violent floods that occur shortly after a storm.
  11. 21. An atmospheric condition of high central pressure, with currents flowing outward.
  12. 24. Front When a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass.
  13. 25. Front When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow-moving warm air mass.
  14. 27. Lines on a map joining places with the same temperature.
  15. 28. cloud puffy , white clouds that tend to have flat bottoms, usually indicate fair weather
Down
  1. 1. measuring instrument for measuring temperature
  2. 5. The boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not easily mix.
  3. 6. water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth as rain,sleet , or snow
  4. 7. Change in state from a gas to a liquid

  8. 14. Front Where a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.
  9. 16. Clouds that form in layers. Stratus clouds cover large areas and usually block out the sun.
  10. 17. Short term fluctuations (days, weeks) in temperature, precipitation, and humidity resulting from rapidly forming and decaying weather systems
