A cold core high is a high-pressure system with cold air at its center. These systems are typically associated with clear...

A weather front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground and resulting in a mix...

The mass of air surrounding the earth and bound to it more or less permanently by the earth's gravitational attraction.

Snow that rises to 8 feet or higher.

Occurs when centers of high pressure and/or low pressure set up over a region in such a way that they prevent other weather...

The formation of fog when warm and moist air passes over a cool or cold surface or, conversely, when cold air passes over...

A strong, downward wind caused by a localized column of air sinking rapidly, often resulting in damage similar to that caused...

Air laden with sand and dust, common in areas devoid of permanent vegetation, especially deserts.
