Pressure and weather in Pittsfield
Pittsfield sits in the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts, where the elevation and inland position exaggerate New England's already changeable weather. Storm systems and nor'easters climbing the terrain, combined with cold air draining into the valleys, send the current barometric pressure falling and rising quickly through much of the year. A barometric pressure forecast for Pittsfield helps you see when air pressure today is about to shift so a barometric pressure headache doesn't take you by surprise. Late fall through early spring, when storms are most frequent and the mountain weather is at its most active, tends to bring the biggest weather pressure swings.
