Pressure and weather in Tyler
Tyler stands on the rolling sandy uplands of East Texas, in the pine and hardwood forest that separates the Sabine and Neches river basins, several hundred kilometres inland from the Gulf but still firmly within its reach. The climate is humid subtropical and considerably wetter than the Texas most people picture, with around 1,200 millimetres of rain a year and a forest to prove it. Three patterns dominate. The spring severe season runs from March into May as Gulf moisture returns north and Plains cold fronts sweep through, generating squall lines and, less often but memorably, significant tornado outbreaks. Tropical systems making landfall on the upper Texas or Louisiana coast frequently track inland across this area still carrying damaging wind, and Hurricane Rita in 2005 flattened a large fraction of the region's timber. Winter supplies the third pattern: cold air sliding south underneath returning Gulf moisture produces ice storms that the pine canopy is poorly built to survive. Summer settles under the subtropical ridge with a flat trace and afternoon convection.
What this means for you
Hurricanes reaching this far inland still arrive with a real pressure fall, which is unusual for somewhere this distant from the coast. Watching a barometric pressure forecast through September is worth it here in a way it is not across most of inland Texas.
