Pressure and weather in Mount Airy
Mount Airy sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina's northern Piedmont, and that position against the escarpment gives the air pressure today a character of its own. Systems crossing the Appalachians from the west often reorganise as they come down the lee side, and cold-air damming — when chilly air wedges against the mountains east of the ridge — can hold conditions and weather pressure in an unusual state for a day or more before a coastal system breaks it. Winter storms tracking up the Eastern Seaboard pull the current barometric pressure down steeply, and summer brings afternoon storms building over the higher terrain nearby. Remnants of Gulf and Atlantic tropical systems occasionally push inland with sustained low pressure. Barometric pressure headaches are common through these transitions, and a barometric pressure forecast for Mount Airy flags them early.
