Question 186 Deck General

The correct answer is A) a northeast wind. When a vessel is southeast of an eastward-moving storm center on the Great Lakes, it would experience a southwest wind, not a northeast wind. This is because the wind direction in the southern quadrant of an eastward-moving storm system flows from the southwest. The other options (B, C, and D) are correct, as the vessel would experience a falling barometer, rain or snow, and lowering clouds and drizzle, which are typical weather patterns associated with the southern quadrant of an eastward-moving storm system.
