The barometric pressure in Rio Rancho varies throughout the day and night. It changes depending on the movement of air masses and weather systems. Pressure increases when air sinks and decreases when air rises.
Rio Rancho is situated in the high desert of New Mexico. The city is surrounded by the Sandia Mountains to the east. These mountains create a rain shadow effect. They block moisture from the Gulf of California from reaching the city. As a result, the air is dry and pressure is affected.
The Rio Grande River runs through the valley west of the city. The valley's landscape is flat and open. This allows winds to move freely and pressure to fluctuate. Weather systems from the west can easily move into the area.
