not what we needed

A two millibar drop in pressure is not significant when a storm is holding its own or intensifiying, but it means a tremendous amount when a storm is weakening. This is because a lower pressure usually means an end to weakening, as one could make a strong argument that the true strength of a hurricane (or any low) is measured by pressure.
