If you hear a weather report indicating that a low pressure system is coming in, you can expect precipitation. Low pressure systems are typically associated with cloudy skies and the likelihood of rain or other forms of precipitation.
All weather takes place in the atmosphere , mostly in its very lowest layer.
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in one place for a short period of time. To
describe the weather, we look at the general conditions of the sky overhead. Is it clear,
cloudy or filled with rain? We also measure six qualities of the atmosphere: precipitation ,
pressure, humidity, temperature, wind and air quality.
Pressure is the force of the air pushing down upon the Earth. Air pressure is measured with
a tool called a barometer, so it is also known as barometric pressure. Low pressure usually
brings precipitation, while high pressure often brings dry weather. Humidity is the amount
of water vapor in the air compared to how much water vapor the air can hold. Temperature
is a measure of heat energy. If the temperature is high, there is more energy and we feel
warm. If it's low, there's less energy, so we feel cold. Wind is the direction and speed of the
air moving around us. The air quality depends on the place from which it moves: it might be
humid, cold, or polluted air.

weather can you expect?
