Question

select the correct answer.
andrea plans to go fishing in the morning, so she checks the weather forecast. the forecast shows a high - pressure area forming near her fishing spot. using the weather data below, predict the possible weather conditions for andreas trip.

time (a.m.)	temperature (°c)	pressure (mb)
8:00	14	1001
9:00	14	1113
10:00	15	1120

a. cloudy skies with minimal precipitation
b. clear skies with minimal precipitation
c. cloudy skies with moderate precipitation
d. clear skies with heavy precipitation

Explanation:

High - pressure systems are generally associated with clear skies and little to no precipitation. From the data, we can see that the pressure is increasing (indicating a high - pressure area is forming). Low - pressure systems are associated with cloudiness and precipitation. So, with a high - pressure area forming, the weather should be clear skies with minimal precipitation. Option A has cloudy skies which is not typical of high - pressure. Option C has moderate precipitation and cloudy skies which is for low - pressure. Option D has heavy precipitation which is also not typical of high - pressure.

Answer:

B. clear skies with minimal precipitation
