Barometric

Meteorologists nicknamed the storm a "bomb cyclone," the second such phenomenon in two months, named for how quickly the barometric pressure falls during such an event.

There used to be areas of low barometric pressure, but not anymore.

A low barometric pressure is characteristic of hurricanes.

Barb Stuckey, the company's chief innovation and marketing officer, who describes herself as a hypertaster and whose tongue can detect changes in barometric pressure, greeted me in the hall carrying an armful of milk cartons.
