Question 1328Navigation General

The correct answer is C) clear, cool weather. High pressure areas in the United States are typically associated with clear, cool, and dry weather conditions. High pressure systems bring sinking air, which compresses and warms the air, preventing cloud formation and precipitation. This results in the characteristic clear skies and lower humidity that are commonly observed with high pressure systems. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) cool fogs are more commonly associated with low pressure systems near coastal areas, B) precipitation is more typical of low pressure systems, and D) humid, sticky weather is usually indicative of a low pressure system or warm frontal passage, rather than a high pressure system.
