How Do Scientists Predict the Weather?

Scientists use tools and observations to guess what the weather will be like. Imagine you're in a kitchen, and you watch the clouds outside. If they look dark and heavy, you might say it's going to rain soon! Scientists do something similar, they check things like wind, temperature, and pressure using special machines called sensors and satellites that float high above Earth.
