Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure gradient is indicated by the closeness of isobars (lines of equal atmospheric pressure) on a weather map. The area around Lake Michigan/Southeastern Wisconsin would have the highest pressure gradient if the isobars are closest together there, indicating a rapid change in pressure over a short distance.
