Quick comprehension check
“Imagine you observe a large, slow-moving cold air mass approaching a warm, humid air mass. Based on this data, what type of rain is likely to occur, and what can you predict about its intensity and duration? Suppose you measure a rapid increase in ground temperature and humidity in a localized area on a summer afternoon. Based on this data, what type of rain is likely to occur, and what are the limitations in predicting its exact location and duration?”
