General Navigation USCG Question #1366 (Set 43)

While 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?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Moderate winds from the northwest, clear visibility and cooler temperatures

High-pressure systems following a cold front are characterized by descending stable air, which yields clear visibility, moderate northwest winds, and noticeably cooler, drier conditions as observed in continental river navigation.
