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 pressure relative to the surrounding area.

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

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
