- Welcome to my Definitive Guide to Weather Map Analysis! In this multi-part series, we'll take a deep dive into how to properly analyze weather data at each important level of the atmosphere, a foundational skill of weather forecasting. By the end of this series, you should be able to analyze a weather map by hand and identify notable features that can impact a given storm environment.
In this video (Part 3), I walk you through a full surface analysis example, including how to draw isobars and how to properly identify and place significant surface features, such as surface lows and fronts.

I have been in soooo many books, tried sooo many websites and videos, but all gave disconnected pieces; "this is what a symbol means...this is what happens when cold air meets hot air...this is the direction rising air spins....ya-da ya-da." Still had endless gaps and fell short of laying a full picture of meteorology and how the parts of a weather map work together and how a knowledgeable person ENTERS and WORKS THROUGH data to make sense of it. OHHH MYYY GOSSSH----at last!!!
Really happy to hear this was what you’ve been looking for; thank you!
Absolutely fantastic, Trey! Between this series and Tim Vasquez's "Weather Analysis and Forecasting" book, I feel like things are really starting to come together. His book can be a difficult read at times (goes into thermodynamics and basic physics). Very grateful for your work, Trey! Take care!! Oh yeah! Definitely remember the Lutgens and Tarbuck!!
Thank you, Tal! Love Tim Vasquez’s books, although like you said, they can be a little difficult at times. Glad you are enjoying this series!
Another amazing video
Exceptional work, as always. Can't wait for part 4!
Thank you!
Excellent teaching. Much appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you!
Thank you for these!
I'm glad you uploaded while I have power! It's not looking good here for especially tomorrow!
Yes, I saw the DFW metro has been getting walloped. Stay safe!
@@ConvectiveChronicles yes we for sure have been! With a bunch more to come! Not fun.
@Convective Chronicles yep. We had heavy thundersleet here in Dallas.
We thank you for your time and work, we can note that your tutorials are helpful. We can also note that some of the surface weather features such as double barrels, inversions and the rockies ranges and surface trough lines may need further explanations regarding surface front formation which may add to the quality of your information.
Took me a bit to get to it but, it helps alot
Amazing video, thank you!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic video, really helps showcase just how tightly pressure, winds, fronts, temperatures, and dew points are connected. Looking forward for more of the series!
Thank you!
Thank you Trey! Just what the Dr. Ordered!
You bet, thank you!
I have a playlist on these and data on my computer to practice these. Awesome stuff! Thank you for the time in doing these!!
Thank you! That’s awesome; practice definitely makes perfect with map analysis!
Brings me back to Cerveny's synoptic course. Great lesson!
Thanks, Chris! I still have my big notes binder from his synoptic course; they definitely come in handy for these videos!
amazing video! well done!
Thank you!
Hey wait a minute, this is the set up where I had my first 2 tornado intercepts
Heard my first ⛈️ thundersnow today in DFW. Saw some lightning too! Was trying to calm a few people that it's not the end of the world lol rare, yes but not Armageddon 🤷🏽
