The barometric pressure in Yakima is influenced by its location in a valley. Pressure systems from the Pacific Ocean move into the region, bringing changes in pressure. As they interact with the valley, pressure readings fluctuate.
Yakima is situated in the Yakima Valley, surrounded by mountains to the west and hills to the east. The valley's shape blocks or redirects airflow, causing pressure to rise or fall. The city's proximity to the Cascade Range also impacts local pressure patterns.
The nearby mountains force air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation. This process affects the atmospheric pressure in Yakima, leading to variations in weather patterns. Additionally, cold air from the north can enter the valley, further influencing pressure readings.
