It seems barometric pressure has been very low lately-what's the lowest air pressure on record in this area?
The lowest pressure I've seen recently was 29.00" at SEATAC Wednesday at 11pm. That is low, but not the lowest seen in this area. The Hanukkah Eve storm in 2006 produced barometric pressure readings of 28.70", exceeded by the Columbus Day storm in 1962 with 28.23". But the lowest pressure actually came with a storm spanning November 13-14th of 1981; the lowest pressure reading with that storm was just 28.05"
