In this case, wx chart under www.jfindu.net is more useful. The y axis are 
adjusted to extreme values. Try something like this
http://www.jfindu.net/wx.asp?call=AB9FX&metric=0&getallssid=&firewall=&object=&height=400&width=400&RadarType=Base&type=3&nocw=
and choose 1 day, click Create Chart.
Then you see pressure tendencies much more clear.
73!
