The fourth of Marine Weather University's eight class course designed to improve your weather skills. Available as a single class or part of a full course. In this class we take a step back - to explore the weather systems that drive the weather in the planet's middle latitudes. We'll look at weather maps which depict these systems ("highs" and "lows") and learn how to "read" a weather map to predict your weather.
