🔍 Key Concepts

• Storm quadrant and track relative to the storm’s center (ahead of vs. behind the center) • Typical pressure (barometer) trend before, during, and after the passage of a low-pressure storm • How wind speed and direction usually change as a storm moves away from your position

💭 Think About

• Picture a low-pressure storm center moving along a track. Your vessel is on that track, but the center has already passed you. What typically happens to the pressure behind the center as it moves away? • As the storm moves away from you, think about the energy and gradient driving the winds. Do winds usually pick up, ease off, or stay the same behind the center? • Consider how the wind direction behaves behind a moving low: does it keep shifting, or does it quickly settle and remain completely steady?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the phrase "behind the storm's center" – your position is in the wake of the system, not ahead of it. • Ask yourself whether a rising barometer is associated with the approach of a low, the passage of its center, or the period after it has passed. • For each option, decide if it is consistently true behind the storm center, not just sometimes or briefly true. Eliminate any choice that would usually behave differently as the storm moves away.
