Why does low pressure air rise to produce rain?
It's not actually the low pressure air that rises up. The
counterclockwise circulation around the low pulls cool air from up
north down and forms a cold front that usually extends south of the
low. This cold air runs into the warm air out front of it that is
being drawn up from the south from the counterclockwise circulation.
The cold air forces the warm air to rise because the cold air is more
dense. This warm air rises and produces rain.
That's the way I understand it.
