Forecast

Point Pleasant's barometric pressure is influenced by its location in the Ohio River Valley. The pressure is often affected by weather systems moving east from the Midwest.

The city is situated near the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. The surrounding hills and mountains can trap and redirect air masses. This unique topography contributes to unpredictable pressure fluctuations. The terrain can also create channels for air to move through, leading to rapid changes in pressure.

The region's weather patterns are shaped by its position in the valley. Moist air from the Gulf of Mexico brings warmth and humidity in the summer. Cold air from Canada brings chilly temperatures in the winter. The clash of these air masses can lead to dramatic pressure changes. Point Pleasant's weather is often characterized by sudden shifts in pressure, which can impact local weather conditions.
