Pressure and weather in Celina
Celina sits on the northwestern shore of Grand Lake St. Marys in Mercer County, close to the Indiana state line, on the exceptionally flat glacial lake plain that covers much of northwestern Ohio. The lake is large in area but very shallow, built as a canal reservoir in the nineteenth century, and it is too small and too shallow to moderate the climate the way a Great Lake does. What the landscape does offer is complete exposure: there is nothing between Celina and the open Plains to slow anything down. Barometric pressure here follows the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes storm track. Low pressure systems developing over the southern and central Plains track northeast across Indiana and Ohio, and Celina frequently lies close to the centre of their path, which produces both the deepest falls in current barometric pressure and the messiest precipitation as the rain-snow line wobbles across the county. Alberta clippers deliver quicker, shallower lows through midwinter with hard cold surges behind them. Spring is the most volatile period, when Gulf moisture returning north meets retreating cold air over the corn belt and severe thunderstorms develop along the boundary, sometimes with pressure falls compressed into a couple of hours. Summer is warm and humid with a flat barometer, punctuated by overnight thunderstorm complexes drifting in from Illinois and Indiana. Autumn brings strong fronts back in October and November. A barometric pressure forecast for Celina matters most from October through May.
