warm air rises, cools and condenses into rainclouds
cold air sinks, bringing rain with it
warm air is trapped under cold air, forming clouds
rising cold air hits sinking cold air, resulting in high precipitation
a high pressure system causes water vapor to condense into water droplets
at high pressure areas formed by sinking air
at low pressure areas formed by rising air
at high pressure areas formed by rising air
at low pressure areas formed by sinking air
