A Gulf low or Texas Low is a low pressure area that forms or intensifies over the Gulf of Mexico and move northeast on the western side of the Appalachian mountains and sometimes on the Atlantic coast to become a nor'easter.
Does texas have a low pressure system?
A Texas Low is also known as a “panhandle hook” or even a “panhandle hooker.” These low pressure systems generate out of — you guessed it — Texas. But what makes them produce all the precipitation is the moisture that they draw up from the Gulf of Mexico.
How does barometric pressure affect headaches?
Causes. When the outside barometric pressure lowers, it creates a difference between the pressure in the outside air and the air in your sinuses. That can result in pain. The same thing happens when you are on a plane.
What barometric pressure causes migraines?
Specifically, we found that the range from 1003 to <1007 hPa, i.e., 6–10 hPa below standard atmospheric pressure, was most likely to induce migraine. In the study by Mukamal et al. (2009), the mean atmospheric variation was 7.9 mmHg, which is consistent with our finding.
