XM WX Weather Features
Fronts
The Fronts feature displays the lines indicating the leading edge of an air mass that is replacing an existing air mass. 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 
the 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.
