Which statement is TRUE concerning weather conditions on the Great Lakes?

Correct Answer: Option D — When a vessel is north of an eastward-moving storm center, changes in the weather are less distinctive than when sailing south of the center.

Due to the dominant west-to-east tracks of weather systems, a vessel situated north of an eastward-moving storm center experiences less distinct wind shifts and barometric variations compared to the rapid, severe quadrant changes encountered south of the center.
