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?

What does the increase or decrease of millibars have to do with hurricanes?

The decrease in millibars indicates a drop in atmospheric pressure, which correlates with the increasing intensity of a hurricane. A lower pressure system allows air to rise and fuels the storm's development and strength. Conversely, an increase in millibars signifies a rise in atmospheric pressure, which can weaken the hurricane.


Was Hurricane Wilma strong?

Yes, Hurricane Wilma was a strong Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. It set the record for the lowest central pressure in an Atlantic hurricane, with 882 millibars, and was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.


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.


How far apart are barometric pressures usually marked on an isobar map?

Barometric pressures are typically marked at regular intervals, such as every 4 millibars or every 5 millibars, on an isobar map. This helps to show the pressure gradient across an area more clearly.


Is 1034 millibars high pressure?

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


What is the threshold for low barometric pressure?

The threshold for low barometric pressure is typically considered to be below 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg) or 1013.25 millibars (mb).


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?

It is unknown as efforts to measure the barometric pressure inside a tornado have met with little success. The millibar is a measure of barometric pressure, with 892 millibars being very low for a pressure that would be found on Earth, indicating a very intense storm. Even then, the scales we currently have for rating tornadoes use damage-based in estimates rather than pressure estimates.


What is the Relationship of millibars to hurricane strength?

Millibars are a unit of measurement for atmospheric pressure. In the context of hurricanes, lower millibar values typically indicate a stronger storm. The lower the central pressure of a hurricane in millibars, the stronger the storm's winds and potential for damage.


At 13000 feet what is the average barometric pressure?

At 13,000 feet above sea level, the average barometric pressure is around 559 millibars.


What is the average barometric pressure in Chicago?

The average barometric pressure in Chicago is around 29.98 inches of mercury or 1015 millibars. This value can vary depending on weather conditions and atmospheric patterns.
