< Exercise 21 Problems-Part I The following questions are based on Figures 21-10, 21-20, and 21-30, radar images of Louisiana from the Fort Polk Doppler radar site taken on October 9, 2020, at about 20:00 UTC. At the time of these radar images, Hurricane Delta was moving toward landfall in southern Louisiana near the city of Lake Charles, south of the radar site. Figure 21-40 is a weather map showing the location of the Fort Polk radar site and the general storm track of Hurricane Delta as it approached shore. Figure 21-4: Weather map for the Gulf Coast of the United States on October 9, 2020. Blue arrow shows location of the Doppler weather radar site at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
