The barometric pressure in Townsend, Tennessee, fluctuates throughout the day and night, responding to changes in the atmosphere. It rises and falls with thearrival of high and low-pressure systems.
Townsend is situated in a valley surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains. The mountains create a rain shadow effect, blocking moist air from the southeast. This contributes to a varied atmospheric pressure. The proximity to the mountains also affects the flow of air, causing pressure changes.
The surrounding mountains and valleys influence the movement of air masses, leading to changes in pressure. As air rises over the mountains, it cools and condenses, resulting in precipitation. The subsequent sinking air then warms and dries, causing pressure to rise. This cycle repeats, governing the local weather patterns.
