low-pressure system
Storm-brewing atmospheric condition
A low-pressure system is a weather pattern where atmospheric pressure is lower than in surrounding areas.
Air flows inward and rises, typically bringing clouds, precipitation, and unsettled conditions.
In the Northern Hemisphere, winds circulate counterclockwise around the center; in the Southern Hemisphere, clockwise.
A low-pressure system is moving in from the coast.
