Mountain Top's weather is influenced by its high elevation, which affects air pressure. When air rises over the mountains, it cools and expands, causing lower air pressure.
The mountains surrounding Mountain Top create a rain shadow effect, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation and low air pressure.
In winter, cold air from Canada brings low air pressure, leading to cold temperatures and snow. In summer, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico brings high air pressure, resulting in warm temperatures and humidity.
