What will be the millibars and barometric pressure formed by the combination of the Canadian cold front meeting Hurricane Sandy in western Pennsylvania and Ohio?
Lifesnadir
A barometer reading of 30.71 (1040 millibars) is a typical winter reading for a high-pressure, cold-air cell moving out of northern Canada. Generally, in Ohio, a cold front doesn't force the barometer below about 29.8. Sandy is predicted to create a very low millibars (barometric) reading, lower than 960 millibars. Currently approximately 300 miles offshore at 8am Monday Oct 29th 2012, Hurricane Sandy is at 946 millibars.
The two massive storms will likely drop the barometric pressure into the 29-plus range, but how far it will drop is not yet known. However, a 29-plus barometer reading along with the cold, wet weather is certainly apt to increase the pain of chronic pain sufferers, along with devastating damage for people along the coast with power outages, trees toppled, etc.

What does the drop in barometric pressure from 1003 millibars to 926 millibars tell you about a hurricane?
Umm I dont know
What does the increase or decrease of millibars have to do with hurricanes?
A millibar is a unit for measuring barometric pressure.. In a hurricane the pressure is low and the lower the pressure, the stronger the hurricane.
How many millibars are in a category one Hurricane?
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
Did hurricane Irene 2011 break worlds most intense hurricane in world records?
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
How far apart are barometric pressures usually marked on an isobar map?
8 millibars

Is 1034 millibars high pressure?
Yes, 1034 millibars in barometric pressure is high. Normal pressure is 1013 millibars.

What is the pressure of a hurricane?
A hurricane has low pressure, usually less than 995 millibars.
What tornado strength would equal 892 millibars of hurricane strength?
There is no direct conversion between tornado strength and hurricane intensity as they are measured on different scales. Tornado strength is typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, while hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds. These scales are not directly comparable, so there is no equivalent rating between a tornado's EF scale and a hurricane's pressure in millibars.
Is hurricane Wilma the top hurricane?
By one measure, yes. At peak intensity Hurricane Wilma had the lowest pressure at it center of any recorded hurricane in the Atlantic: 882 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. For comparison, normal sea level pressure is 1013 millibars. The previous record-holder, Hurricane Gilbert, had a central pressure of 888 millibars.
What is the Relationship of millibars to hurricane strength?
A millibar is a unit of pressure. The lower the pressure in a hurricane, the stronger the storm.
What kind of weather do you have if there are 970 millibars?
Strong Cat 1 hurricane.
What unit of measurement does an barometer use?
Barometric pressure is usually measured in inches of mercury, millibars (mb), or hectoPascals (hP).
