Isotach Map


.This map is similar to the previous, however the lines connect areas of equal wind speed. These types of maps are very specific to weather patterns. This isotach map illustrates the wind velocity and the key states the miles per hour of the wind speed. There are arrows throughout the map indicating which direction the wind is coming from. Unlike the precipitation weekly map, this show the specific daily winds. There is a choice to see regional areas, which zoom in to where you are and are more useful for determining local wind speeds.
