This is an Isoline map. It uses contour lines to illustrate changes in a variable. In this case, it is showing the changes in the pressure and how that affects how hard the wind is blowing. The isobars are in 4mb increments. We can see that there is quite a bit of change and variation in western South Dakota. This is apparently very unusual and is responsible for very high wind gusts in 1999.
