List some of the ways in which you can predict the future movement of surface mid-latitude storms
For short time intervals, mid-latitude cyclonic storms and fronts tend to move in the same direction and at approximately the same speed as they did during the previous six hours (providing, of course, there is no evidence to indicate otherwise).
Low-pressure areas tend to move in a direction that parallels the isobars in the warm sector ahead of the cold front.
Lows tend to move toward the region of greatest surface pressure drop, whereas highs tend to move toward the region of greatest surface pressure rise.
Surface pressure systems tend to move in the same direction as the wind at the 500-mb level and at about half the speed.
