What barometric pressure tells you in Springport

Barometric pressure is the weight of the air overhead, corrected to sea level so cities at different elevations compare directly. Standard pressure is 29.92 inHg (1013 mb). Above that the air is generally sinking — fair, settled weather; below it the air is rising, which builds clouds, wind, and rain.

The trend matters more than the number. A falling barometer means a front or low-pressure system is moving in, so Springport can expect deteriorating weather within a day; a steady or rising one points to conditions holding or improving. Rapid drops are also the changes weather-sensitive people link to migraines and joint aches — the 24-hour change above is the figure to watch.
