Welcome to my definitive guide to weather map analysis! In this multi-part series, we'll take an in-depth look at how to properly analyze weather data at each important level of the atmosphere, a fundamental skill of weather forecasting. By the end of this series, you should be able to manually analyze a weather map and identify notable features that may impact a given storm environment.

In this video (part 3), I walk you through an example of a complete surface analysis, including how to draw isobars and how to correctly identify and place important surface features, such as depressions and surface fronts.
