Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A meteogram would be the most helpful because it displays both minimum and maximum temperatures over a period of time, allowing for a persistence forecast. A surface chart mainly displays pressure and frontal boundaries, a 500-mb chart shows upper-level wind patterns, and a Doppler radar display shows precipitation and storm movement.
