This weather map looks at the atmospheric pressure over the United States from July 14, 2009. The lines on this map are called isobars, and like the lines on an isoline map, they connect areas of like pressure. On this day, the pressure was high in Michigan, low in Arizona, but around the same in the middle of Texas and along the western border of Minnesota.
