Sean lives in an area that experiences hot, dry summers that change gradually to cold, snowy winters. If he wants to forecast the snowy days using only one measurement tool, should he use a weather vane, thermometer, or barometer? Use evidence to support your claim.​

Answer:

thermometer(more likely) or barometer(less likely)

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather vane is obviously incorrect, because it is used to show the direction of the wind.

Thermometer is more likely, because you indicated that the change was gradual, and it is cold when it is snowy.

A barometer is less likely, because it measures atmospheric pressures. It is also used to measure the wind. In general, if a low pressure system is on its way, be prepared for warmer weather with storms and rain. If a high pressure system is coming, you can expect clear skies and cooler temperatures.
