Houston and the Gulf: tropical systems

Houston is close to sea level, so a home barometer reads almost the same as the forecast. Outside of storms pressure on the Gulf Coast is fairly steady; the deepest drops come with tropical storms and hurricanes from June to November, and in winter with strong cold fronts that push through from the north.
