General Navigation USCG Question #904 (Set 28)

What indicates the arrival of a hurricane within 24 to 36 hours?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Unusually good weather with above average pressures followed by a slow fall of 4 millibars in six hours

An unusually high barometric reading followed by an accelerated pressure drop exceeding 3 to 4 millibars over a six-hour period serves as a classic premonitory sign of an approaching tropical storm.
