Possible, but a bit unlikely. However, a blocked or obscured mass air flow sensor combined with the thinner air might do it.

How would you expect the reading on a barometer to change as a storm moves into your area?

Yes. You would expect the pressure to drop. A low pressure system consists of rising warm air that swirl around a center. Because the air is rising, it lowers the air pressure pressed on the ground. Because of this the pressure-sensing barometer will read that the air pressure is lower. Lower pressure means rain because the warm rising air makes clouds. Expect the pressure to drop as a storm is a low pressure system. Note that cyclones/hurricanes have even lower pressure.


If changing tires to another brand with different pressure ratings can the pressure sensors be adjusted for the different pressure on a 2001 c5 corvette?

The OEM tire pressures are regulated by the vehicle characteristics, not the tire. The same tire may be used on many different vehicles at many different operating pressures. The normal safe operating tire pressures of a vehicle are determined by the vehicle manufacturer and not the tire manufacturer. The only tire pressures that are listed on the tire are the MAXIMUM operating pressure for ANY application and the maxumum BEAD SEATING pressure. The Tire pressure sensors are calibrated to the OEM pressures, probably would not be programable. All the pressure sensing system does is warn of low vehicle tire pressure (probably below the vehicle posted minimum), correct? If the system reads and displays the actual pressure in the tire, then pressure is pressure and will remain the same regardless of the tire brand or size.
