Hickory, North Carolina's barometric pressure is typically between 29.8 and 30.3 inches of mercury. This range is relatively consistent throughout the year.
The city is surrounded by mountains to the west and foothills to the south. These elevations can cause air to rise and cool, resulting in lower pressure. The nearby Catawba River Valley allows air to flow in from the east, moderating pressure.
Hickory's landscape creates a unique combination of air masses. Cold air from the mountains meets warm air from the valley, causing pressure changes. This mix of air influences the local weather patterns.
In winter, cold air from the mountains dominates, leading to lower pressure. In summer, warm air from the valley prevails, resulting in higher pressure. Spring and autumn experience a balance of both air masses, leading to relatively stable pressure.
