Watching the weather report usually includes the use of isobars, but not necessarily an explanation of their importance in connecting lines of air pressure. We can see for instance in this map from the weather channel the lines encompassing the "L" for low pressure and "H" for high pressure systems and where these systems meet. Also note the green of storms following to the west of the low pressure system.
