How does air circulate within a cyclone (low-pressure area) in the Northern Hemisphere?
Cold air flows under warm air, causing the warm air to rise and cool.

clockwise and away from the center
cP and mT
moist and rising
Warm, moist air rises when it meets cold, dry air.
counterclockwise and toward the center of the cyclone
