The three images show a great deal of moisture related to the convective activities over Zambia and Botswana. Towards what area is the moisture being driven? Review the data, then answer the question below.
Select the area towards which the moisture is being driven. Then click Done.
The correct answer is C.
At all three levels (850, 700, and 500 hPa), the winds have a strong northerly component over Zambia and Botswana. This is steering the humidity mainly to the central part of South Africa, putting it at risk for a considerable amount of rain. This assessment should be confirmed with forecast information from NWP models.
