Pressure and weather in DeKalb
DeKalb sits on the flat prairie west of Chicago, where there's little to slow down the weather systems that cross the region. In this humid continental climate, barometric pressure can rise and fall sharply as cold fronts race in from the plains and lows track along the jet stream, and spring in particular delivers powerful storm systems. Winter cold snaps and summer thunderstorm complexes keep the pressure trend active year-round, so current barometric pressure in DeKalb rarely holds steady for long. The barometric pressure forecast here is especially useful for spotting the quick changes that tend to follow the open-country fronts.
