I will not give you full paragraph answers, but I will give something to help you answer each question.

1) Think about the amount of moisture each low pressure system has to work with. Heavier precipitation usually occurs in storms that have an abundant supply of moisture.

2) Think about the jet stream.

3) Think about daytime heating and nighttime cooling. At dusk, when the sun sets, the Earth's surface will start to cool down. If this process continues the whole night, then the lowest temperatures must occur at sunrise. As for the lowest temperatures during mid-afternoon, consider cold fronts.

Answer 2

I have no idea really.
