Base your answer on the weather map below, which represents a low-pressure system over NYS. The L on the map represents the center of the low-pressure system. Two fronts extend from the center of the low, and are labeled front 1 & front 2. Cloud cover can been omitted from the station models.

Which map best represents the type of fronts and direction of movement of these fronts in relation to the low-pressure center?
