Lower pressure inside the cabin

Ok, so you pull the alternate air open - the source inside the cabin. The altimeter and the VSI jump up because the pressure inside the cabin is lower. What is a good explanation for this? Wouldn't the air traveling faster on the outside surface cause a lower pressure by the static port than inside the cabin? I'm talking non-pressurized 152 here.
