A rising barometer indicates improving weather conditions, such as clearing skies and less precipitation. Conversely, a falling barometer suggests worsening weather, like approaching storms and increasing wind. By monitoring these changes in barometric pressure, you can anticipate shifts in the weather patterns.
Of all weather instruments essential to forecasting, the barometer tops the list. Why? Because every weather change is preceded by a rise or fall in air pressure, and air pressure is just what the barometer measures. If you compare two barometer readings taken an hour or two apart, you will know immediately if the air pressure is rising, falling, or staying the same. And as a result you will be able, with a fair amount of accuracy, to predict tomorrow’s weather. RISING BAROMETER: When the air pressure measures higher than it did in your previous reading, the air is becoming denser, and the barometer is said to be rising. This tells you that clearer, drier, cooler weather is on the way. If the barometer is rising very rapidly from a low position, the weather will clear up very soon, and it will probably become quite windy. But if the barometer rises from a low position gradually and steadily, a long period of good weather is just around the corner. If the barometer is already high and suddenly starts to rise rapidly, expect a sudden drop to follow shortly, and with it, bad weather to come. FALLING BAROMETER: A falling barometer usually indicates rain, wind, and warmer weather. Take note of the speed at which the barometer falls. A very large and rapid drop in air pressure is a sure sign of an approaching storm. If the barometer falls suddenly, but not too far, expect wind and brief showers. If the barometer falls slowly and steadily to a moderately-low position, it may rain nearby, but not necessarily in your immediate area. UNCHANGING BAROMETRIC PRESSURE is a pretty good indication that whatever weather you’re currently enjoying is not about to change any time soon. IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS! With a little experience in charting barometric pressure in your area, you will soon become skilled at noting any changes which are out of the ordinary. At this point, your weather-predicting abilities may begin to rival those of your local TV weatherman. And that would be something to brag about!
The most commonly barometer used today would be a Aneroid.
Yes. You would expect the pressure to drop. A low pressure system consists of rising warm air that swirl around a center. Because the air is rising, it lowers the air pressure pressed on the ground. Because of this the pressure-sensing barometer will read that the air pressure is lower. Lower pressure means rain because the warm rising air makes clouds. Expect the pressure to drop as a storm is a low pressure system. Note that cyclones/hurricanes have even lower pressure.
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, so if there was no barometric pressure, the barometer reading would likely show a value of zero or indicate an error. Atmospheric pressure is necessary for the functioning of a barometer.
A falling barometer typically indicates that bad weather, such as rain or storms, may be approaching. Conversely, a rising barometer usually signifies improving weather conditions.

The barometer was rising so we thought it would be a good day for a picnic
A line to stress rising and falling intonation would be called pitch.

Rising and falling intonation refer to the changing pitch in a word. It is like singing the word, with a rising or falling note. In English, rising intonation occurs at the end of a question. So in "Is that yours?", the word "yours" is said with rising pitch. In "That one is yours." The same word is said with a falling or uniform pitch. Falling pitch can indicate the end of a sentence or paragraph. A sentence that would normally be heard as a simple statement, can become a question if a word has a rising intonation. For example, "The red one is yours?" could be said with rising intonation on the word "red" or on the word "yours", depending which word is being questioned.
