The model is showing two different weather events. Which weather do you think will produce the least amount of rainfall and why?

• Storm X will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest surface water.

• Storm Y will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the highest surface water.

• Storm X will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest temperature.

• Storm Y will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest temperature.
