Nor’easters: New York’s biggest pressure drops
From late fall to early spring the deepest lows in New York usually come from nor’easters — storms that form off the Atlantic coast and move north. As one deepens, pressure can fall by more than 0.3 inHg (10 hPa) in a day, with wind, heavy rain or snow. In summer pressure changes are smaller and slower.
