Pressure and weather in North Canton
North Canton sits in Stark County in northeast Ohio, south of Akron and on the rising ground where the plains give way to the western Allegheny Plateau. Its barometric pressure is driven mainly by the steady procession of lows crossing the Great Lakes to the north. Through the cold half of the year these arrive every few days, each pulling the current barometric pressure down as it approaches and pushing it back up sharply once the cold front clears, and the stronger ones deepen as they pass over the lakes. North Canton is far enough south that heavy lake-effect snow usually stays closer to Erie, but the pressure signature of those same systems reaches the town in full. Spring brings the most volatile stretch, when warm Gulf air meeting cold northern air can set off severe thunderstorms and abrupt pressure changes in a single afternoon. Summer is more settled, with humid spells under weak high pressure. Those who notice barometric pressure headaches find a barometric pressure forecast useful here because weather pressure rarely holds steady for long.
