Pressure trend

The rate of change, not the absolute reading, is what actually forecasts weather.

Falling slowly
-1.58 hPa over 3.0 h · -0.529 hPa/h

Slight deterioration possible.

A regression over all samples in the window is used because endpoint differencing on 30-second BME688 data is dominated by sensor noise and flips sign constantly.

Ask the station

You are talking to a bot. It answers only from this station's readings and a cached National Weather Service forecast — it has no information about roads, fires, or health, and it will say so. Terms and disclaimers.

Hello. I am a small language model bolted to a barometer on a cabin roof at 4,767 ft. I can tell you what these instruments have measured, what the National Weather Service expects, and how the station works.

I cannot help with roads, fires, evacuations, or whether the air is safe to breathe — for those I will point you at people who actually know.

Answers are generated automatically and can be wrong. Not official weather information. In an emergency call 911.
