1. After mid-latitude cyclones and an associated cold
front have moved across the Great Lakes, lake-effect
snows may occur, bringing large amounts of snowfall
to the northeastern United States.
2. An anticyclone forms when upper-level air slows down high
and is forced to the surface, causing a -pressure
area.
3. Hail is most frequent in the United States. middle
4. Most tornadoes occur in mesocyclones within supercell
thunderstorms.
5. anticyclones move around, in contrast to semi- migrating
permanent anticyclones, which stay in the same gen-
eral area.
