A vessel operating on the Great Lakes, and whose position is south of an approaching eastward-moving storm center, would NOT experience _______________.

A lowering clouds and drizzle

B a southwest to west wind

C a falling barometer

D rain or snow

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) a southwest to west wind. The reasoning is that when a storm system is approaching from the east, the vessels south of the storm center will experience a wind shift from the southwest to west as the storm passes. This is due to the counterclockwise circulation around the low-pressure system. The other answer choices (A, C, and D) are all characteristics that would be experienced by vessels north of the storm center, as the storm system moves from west to east.
