Sure! Makes sense to me. Not! LOL Ok, quick lesson.
High pressure - good.
Low pressure - bad.
Pressure going down - things get worse.
Pressure going up - things get better.
Generally.
Some benchmarks.
1017 mbar - average air pressure.
1000 mbar - typical pressure of summertime LP system tracking across northern US.
990 mbar - typical pressure of LP storm rolling up the Ohio valley in wintertime.
970 mbar - typical pressure of severe noreaster (sometimes called a "white hurricane") tracking up Atlantic coastline in winter.
This system is 941. That is really not good.

Not to mention it was just explained the raise in pressure up 4 is very common at this time of night in this part of the gulf. So it literally is not even storm related.

I just looked at Intellicast...is it just me or have they moved the forecast track 20-30 miles east with the 2300 EDT update? Still not terribly close to Nawlins, but it looks like Baton Rouge might get rocked pretty hard.
You Freepers down there hunker down and stay safe. And don't quit tracking this storm after it comes ashore...I grew up 20 miles south of Camille's *other* disaster area in 1969, up in Virginia.
