Science question...?

Question

Well this is homework help and science help :)
This is what the probablem said:
An air mass from Gulf of Mexico is pushing north into Pittsburgh, which has been under the influence of Canadian air mass for several days. What are the conditions now in Pittsburgh, and what will they be two or three days from now?
Only answer if you know lol :)
Thank you!

Answer 1

Snow. Lots of it. The Canadian air mass is cold air from the Arctic. The Gulf of Mexico has warm, wet air.

Warm & wet+super-cold=snow. Snow, snow, snow. Probably, the snow will taper off after a day or so--the warm air only has so much moisture in it, and once it's precipitated (fallen out), there's no more snow to fall.

After a couple of days, it might warm up a bit. The warm air won't be as strong once it's hit the cold air and gotten cooled off. So the precipitation will slack off and it'll be cold but not as cold, and there'll be snow on the ground, but not continually falling.

At least that's what I think, based on watching lots of weather forecasts.

Answer 2

Well, as a meteorologist, I would predict mostly sunny skies for much of the time. the conditions now are sunny with a couple whisphy Cirrus clouds around and temps in the upper 60s to low 70s. A dry Warm Front will move through, producing a few more widespead Cirrus clouds during the first day. Then However, the temps and moisture will steadily rise during the second day and during the heat of the day, Pittsburgh will likely experience some scattered to widespread Cumulonimbis and Pileus clouds, some eventually giving way to a Microburst. However, I fair amount of sunshine through the three days appears likely. If the dynamics are right sometimes during or after the three dyas, Pittsburgh would have to keep an eye out for the threat of Severe WEather with this very unstable atmosphere there in along an eventual cold front.

On question though, are you talking about the Spring and Summer time or the Fall and Winter time?

Answer 3

It can differ from season to season the winter time the Air mass from the gulf brings warm mosit air and when it meets cold air from canada precipatation ie, snow can form and the temp will be cold. In the spring and summer same thing only thunder storms with rain and warm/cool temps can ocur. The weather system can diffrer of how long it stays in one place so the weather cond. can vary.

Answer 4

When warm air from a low pressure mixes withcold air from a high pressure you get SNOW

Answer 5

Depends on the season and the geography you know. That homework is an unsolved mystery. :-D
