A hurricane just off the coast of northern Florida is moving northeastward, parallel to the eastern sea board. Suppose that you live in North Carolina along the coast.
(a) How will the surface winds in your area change direction as the hurricane’s center passes due east of you? Illustrate your answer by making a sketch of the hurricane’s movement and the wind flow around it.
(b) If the hurricane passes east of you, the strongest winds would most likely be blowing from which direction? Explain your answer. (Assume that the storm does not weaken as it moves northeastward.) (c) The lowest sea-level pressure would most likely occur with which wind direction? Explain.
