WindRadar perspective
Watch a high-pressure system dive south

The WindRadar is very impressive when watching dangerous mountain gusts or a strong hurricane approaching land. But did you know you can use it to watch atmospheric pressure shift?

A fresh high-pressure system is moving south out of Canada starting Monday night and will bring cooler temperatures with it across the central U.S. You can already see evidence on tomorrow's TemperatureRadar forecast. Highs will be at least 5 degrees cooler than average from the Dakotas to Kansas.

High-pressure systems contain cool, dense air. As they move into a new area that has lower pressure, containing warmer and lighter air, the air out ahead of the high pressure is pushed outwards, creating wind. The bigger the difference between the pressure, the gustier the winds, and the more our WindRadar lights up!

This fresh high pressure moving south out of Canada can clearly be seen on the WindRadar. winds out ahead of the dense air mass kick up and cause gusty conditions as it settles in. Watch below!

The brighter the colors, like the yellow or orange, the gustier the conditions. Click on any of the cities you see on the WindRadar right on your app and check out the forecast!

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
