How does the atmospheric pressure change in and around thunderstorms?

Conditions in the atmosphere change a lot over a small distance in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Where the rain is falling, the pressure goes up by a few millibars (about 0.1 inches of Mercury). This is because as the rain falls, some of it evaporates, which makes the air cooler and heavier. Another process is going on, however, that makes it complicated. As the air goes up in the thunderstorm's updraft, it creates an area of low pressure under the updraft that acts to pull air in from around the thunderstorm. This low pressure region is also typically a few millibars lower than the environment of the storm. At the top of the storm the pressure is high compared to places far away from the storm and air is blown out.

What are the type of pressure change indicates stormy weather?
A drop in atmospheric pressure.
To change from psig to psia you must add what to p.s.i.g?
You must add the atmospheric pressure.
Change in air pressure make sound?
No, the atmospheric pressure changes much too slowly.
State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?
Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).
Is it possible that the atmospheric pressure may have changed?
Well atmospheric pressure changes with elevation and has to due with weight of air. The weight of air depends on it's constituents. Pollutants can change the weight but it's so small it is negligible.
what are the dependent and independent variables of a ballon depending on atmospheric pressure?
The mass of the balloon is independent. Atmospheric pressure will not change this because atoms are not being added or taken away from the balloon itself or its contents. The volume of the balloon will change, however, as it will expand or compress in response to the atmospheric pressure around it. The volume, therefore, is a dependent variable in this situation.

How does atmospheric pressure affect you. How does atmospheric pressure change as you increase your distance above earth's surface?
I dont do science i am a more pe type
Which airplane instrument is really just a barometer?
An altimeter is sensitive to atmospheric pressure and can show the altitude of the aircraft based on the change in atmospheric pressure from the aircraft ascending and descending. Likewise, a barometer, is sensitive to atmospheric pressure.
Why does the environment change the higher up you are?
lower atmospheric pressure
Why do you have ear pain when you take a flight?
Change of atmospheric pressure.
Change in air pressure make sound?
No, the atmospheric pressure changes much too slowly.

Is high or low pressure cold?
If you mean to ask if cold bodies of water are associated with high or low atmospheric pressure, they aren't. Atmospheric pressure can change independently of the temperature of bodies of water.
Does temperature change atmospheric pressure?
Yes, the hotter it is the more pressure, and therefore the colder the less pressure. Ther you go :)
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
