The barometric pressure in High River is influenced by its location in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The pressure changes frequently due to the city's proximity to the mountains. Weather systems from the Pacific Ocean bring warm air that collides with the cooler air from the Arctic. This collision causes the pressure to fluctuate.
High River is situated in a valley, surrounded by hills and mountains. The nearby Rockies block or redirect air masses, affecting the flow of air into the valley. The valley's shape and the surrounding landscape force air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in unique weather patterns.
The landscape also creates channels for cold air to flow into the valley, bringing cold snaps and frost. In contrast, warm air from the Chinook arch can flow into the valley, bringing rapid temperature increases. These weather patterns make the barometric pressure in High River unpredictable and prone to sudden changes.
