Question 11. Does the difference in time between the similar weather pattern occurring in Hobart and Ft. Cobb (about 50 miles ENE of Hobart) make sense? Why or why not? Hint: Look at the peak winds for each station and compare to the radar echoes.
 



 
Answer. Yes, because the data indicates a strong, hot, and dry southerly to southwesterly wind that moves east out of the dying storms from Hobart (7:05 p.m. = south at 60 m.p.h.) to Ft. Cobb (8:30 p.m. = southwest at 55 m.p.h.).
