Why does low pressure = wind?
(Honestly doesn't know.) Is it because the low pressure acts as a 'void' and air flows in turbulently to balance that void out? |

High pressure systems occur often, but not always, when there is an uneven heating of the ground, causing the hot air to rise and spread out. This rising air creates an air "void", or a low-pressure system in the area above the ground. However, when the air cools and sinks back down to the ground, a high-pressure system is created. High pressure systems are associated with clear, cool weather. Around high-pressure systems, winds flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere, counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Wind is initially accelerated from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.[42] This is due to density (or temperature and moisture) differences between two air masses. Since stronger high pressure systems contain cooler or drier air, the air mass is more dense and flows towards areas that are warm or moist, which are in the vicinity of low pressure areas in advance of their associated cold fronts. The stronger the pressure difference, or pressure gradient, between a high pressure system and a low pressure system, the stronger the wind.[43] Thus, stronger areas of low pressure are associated with stronger winds.

Quoted:

When you inhale, you create low pressure in your lungs which sucks air in. The harder you inhale (the lower the pressure) the faster the air is drawn in. OP, glad you posted this. It reminded me to take my flag down. |

The weather guys here in Chicago are pissing their pants. They keep talking about hte Edmund Fitzgerald, and say that this storm will be much stronger than that one. They are talking about 40 foot waves on Lake Michigan. I've never seen all of the weathermen on all of the channels scared shitless before. Should be a good time.
