Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the cP air mass travels southward, it will move over warmer ocean waters, causing it to moderate. This means that the air mass will become less cold and dry than it was over Chicago. Therefore, B is the most likely outcome. A is incorrect because the air mass is moving over water, so it is likely to pick up some moisture. C is incorrect because the high pressure associated with a cP air mass typically leads to clear skies and stable conditions. D is incorrect because cP air masses typically bring northerly winds, not southerly winds.
