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.
