Pressure in Inches is wrong.

I've tried several local stations (KCLE, KCAK, KJBB) and all the inches show this: pressure inches = 410.05 Or close to it. Should be inches in Mercury. Like 29.92 is standard atmosphere. I think if it was 400+ we'd be dead. Hahah.

This seemed to change about 1 release ago.

Yep, sure is. Thanks for the report (I'm surprised it took this long to surface). I'll look into it.

The plugin is using inches of water. Definitely unusual way to display pressure. Easy to change to inches of Hg. I just fixed my version.

Yep, I have a fix done for the plugin as well. This should not be an issue for anyone running Indigo 2021 or prior.

Just a complete brain fart on my part (I'm the author of that segment of code--not Matt or Jay).
