  <abstract>"Weather forecasts shape people's lives every day, from helping them decide what to wear to what activities they can do. Young readers can learn all about how these forecasts are made with this fascinating title. It breaks down what weather is, the history or weather forecasting, weather maps, forecasting tools, and how forecasters work to predict dangerous storms including tornadoes, cyclones, and blizzards. Each spread features a fact box that either defines a key forecasting-related term or invites readers to engage in critical thinking or comparing and contrasting skills. With the knowledge in this text, young readers will gain a better understanding of the forecasts they see on TV, and why weather forecasting plays a critical role in people's lives"-- </abstract>
