Question 1347Navigation General
70% to passWhile passing through Memphis, the weather report on the TV news indicates that a cold front is crossing western Kentucky and Tennessee. Tomorrow's weather will be dominated by a high pressure area. What weather should you expect tomorrow?
The correct answer is A) Moderate winds from the northwest, clear visibility and cooler temperatures. When a high pressure system moves in behind a cold front, it typically brings clearing skies, cooler temperatures, and northwesterly winds. The high pressure system would dominate the weather in this scenario, leading to the conditions described in option A. The other options are incorrect because: B) Scattered clouds and light southeasterly winds would be more indicative of the weather ahead of the cold front, not behind it. C) Low overcast and steady rain or drizzle would be more characteristic of the weather during the cold front passage, not after it. D) Light southerly winds and high humidity would be typical of the weather ahead of the cold front, not after it has passed.
