What could have caused Storm 1 to have more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, Rochelle could have been:
warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.

Which storm likely had more rainfall?
Storm 1. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
Storm 1. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
Storm 2. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
Storm 2. The cooler air parcel had less energy at the surface, so when wind pushed it higher, it gained more energy.

Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?
Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.
Air Parcel 1 will lose more energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Air Parcel 1 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Air Parcel 2 is colder than Air Parcel 1, so more water vapor will fall as rain.
