🔍 Key Concepts

• Hurricane warning signs in mid-latitudes • Typical barometric pressure trends before a tropical cyclone arrival • Characteristic cloud patterns and swell behavior associated with approaching hurricanes

💭 Think About

• Think about what usually happens to barometric pressure in the 24–36 hours before a hurricane arrives: does it fall quickly, slowly, or stay nearly steady? • Consider which option describes a pattern that would warn you of a major storm, rather than suggesting that conditions are calming or remaining normal. • Ask yourself which sign would be most reliable at sea for advanced warning: a small short-term pressure change, a particular cloud type, a change in swell, or a combination of unusually good weather then a specific pressure trend.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each choice with known tropical cyclone approach patterns: do hurricanes usually start with obviously bad weather, or deceptively good weather? • Evaluate whether a 2 millibar or 4 millibar change over the stated time is more significant as an early warning of a deep low-pressure system. • Consider which cloud description (if any) matches standard references for outer bands of a hurricane rather than typical frontal or non-tropical systems.

The barometer drops 2 millibars between 1000 and 1600

The normal swell becoming lower and from a steady direction

Unusually good weather with above average pressures followed by a slow fall of 4 millibars in six hours

Long bands of nimbostratus clouds radiating from a point over the horizon
