The correct choice is: "It locates and tracks storms, and follows the path of storm systems."
Brief explanation: Weather radar detects precipitation and its intensity, measures movement (including wind toward/away with Doppler radar), and scans storm structure, so forecasters can track storm location, speed, direction, and severity. (Radars are also deployed in a national network, but they do not directly show pressure patterns or primarily measure the upper atmosphere.)
