Pressure and weather in Quitman
Quitman sits in Brooks County in the far south of Georgia, a short drive from the Florida line and north of Tallahassee, on the flat coastal plain between the Gulf and the Atlantic. Its humid subtropical climate is among the hottest and most humid in the state, and its barometric pressure reflects a position close to two coastlines. The tropical season from August through October is the most consequential stretch: systems making landfall on the Florida Gulf coast track north across this corner of Georgia while still well organised, producing the deepest and most prolonged falls in current barometric pressure the area records, and even storms crossing the peninsula to the east pull the barometer down for a day or more. The cold season brings frequent frontal passages, each giving a quick drop and then a firm rise, with late winter and spring the peak for squall lines running ahead of strong fronts. Summer is long, hot and humid, dominated by daily air-mass thunderstorms that build in the afternoon heat and produce short dips in air pressure today without much lasting change. For weather-sensitive residents, a barometric pressure forecast for Quitman deserves the closest attention from late summer into autumn, when weather pressure can stay depressed for extended periods.
