Detroit: Great Lakes weather
Like Chicago, Detroit lies on a busy storm track. In the cold season lows crossing the Great Lakes bring frequent swings in pressure, often with wind and lake-enhanced snow nearby. A fast fall followed by a fast rise usually means a cold front has gone through.
Sea level or barometer: 29.71 inHg and 29.06 inHg in Detroit
Pressure drops by about 0.1 inHg every 90 feet, so at about 610 ft the two numbers are far apart. If your barometer at home shows something close to 29.06 inHg, it is not a storm — it is the altitude.
In the Weather24 app you choose which one to see under “Pressure reference”: Local, the default, shows a value close to a barometer’s; Sea level shows the forecast value used on this page.
Pressure swings in Detroit and how you feel
Weather-sensitive people usually notice changes in pressure — especially a fast fall ahead of a front — more than the value itself. That is why it helps to watch the change over the last 3 hours and the last 24.
