for October 7, 2017. On Saturday, October 7th you will note the presence of Hurricane Nate in the southern Gulf of Mexico. One of the fastest-moving tropical systems ever in this region, Nate made landfall in Louisiana early in the morning on October 8th. Traveling north and northeast following landfall, the counterclockwise motion of Nate’s remnants and the associated southeasterly flow of moist air from the Gulf of Mexico into the Carolinas produced widespread heavy precipitation and flooding. Using the shaded relief map of Western North Caroline, mark with a small circle five locations that you suspect received maximum rainfall from this event. On the gray map given below. Which areas likely received greater/smaller amounts of precipitation and why?
