The Fronts feature displays the lines indicating the leading edge of an air mass that is replacing another. This feature also displays pressure centers. Pressure centers are 

represented by a large Red “L” for low pressure centers or a large Blue “H” for high pressure centers. Pressure centers represent an area where pressure is measured to 

be either the highest or lowest relative to the surrounding area.

 

Indicates a Low Pressure Center. A Low 

Pressure Center is an area where the 

measured pressure is lowest relative to the 

surrounding area. Moving away from a Low 

Pressure Center in any horizontal direction 

results in increased pressure. Winds flow 

counterclockwise around Low Pressure 

Centers in North America.

Indicates a High Pressure Center. Similar 

to a Low Pressure Center, a High Pressure 

Center is an area where the measured pressure 

is highest relative to the surrounding area. 

Moving away from a High Pressure Center in 

any horizontal direction results in decreased 

pressure. Winds flow clockwise around High 

Pressure Centers in North America.
