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. 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.
