Anticyclonic storm systems in the Northern Hemisphere are generally associated with mid-latitude zones and are characterized by high pressure and descending air. The outward flow produces a clockwise circulation due to the Coriolis force. They are typically associated with fair weather. They are not associated with low-latitude zones or outflow from tropical cyclones, which are more likely to produce cyclonic storm systems.
