Weather Quiz: Pressure

Correct!


The correct answer in this case is b. Cloudy with rain or snow. Because a low pressure system is characterized by upward vertical motion of air near the center, moisture is carried in and builds cloud decks in the low. As long as this motion continues and there is a form of exhaust near the top, poor weather conditions can be expected to continue in association with the low.
