For predicting a snowstorm, we need to identify attributes consistent with such weather conditions. Snowstorms typically occur in cold conditions and may be associated with lower air pressure systems. Given the normal atmospheric pressure is 29.9 inches of mercury, we look for a pressure lower than this, indicating a storm might be approaching.
Now, let's analyze the table:
- The first row is not suitable because both the upper air temperature (36°F) and surface temperature (45°F) are relatively warm for a snowstorm. Though the air pressure (28 inches of mercury) is low, the temperatures are not conducive for snow.
- The second row shows an upper air temperature (40°F) and surface temperature (29°F). While the surface temperature is cold enough for snow, the air pressure (30 inches of mercury) is not lower than normal atmospheric pressure, making this less likely for a snowstorm.
- The third row might be misleading at first because the upper air temperature (30°F) seems cold, but the surface temperature (75°F) is too warm for snow.
Given these observations, none of the provided options fits the typical conditions for a predicted snowstorm, with the appropriate cold temperatures and a lower atmospheric pressure. We would need ideal conditions like lower temperatures both in the upper air and on the surface, accompanied by a lower air pressure to confidently predict a snowstorm.
