I wouldn't think of it like that. High pressure indicates that there is more air entering an area than is able to leave. With a system of high pressure, you typically get converging air high up in the atmosphere which is forced downward, so that at the surface there is a lot of air sinking and trying to spread out, creating higher pressure.

What is the high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
Rarefaction
What happens to pressure and isobars in cyclones and in anticyclones?
The isobars become concentric and sometimes, especially in cyclones, tightly packed with low pressure in the cyclones and high pressure in the anticyclones. In the more intense systems the isobars may be almost perfectly circular.
What does it mean that rock has a high density?
It means that the molecules are packed together very tightly.
The weather map shows many pressure gradients close together. What things should you take to be prepared for the day's weather?
Tightly-packed isobars portend strong winds (A+) answer a hat or scarf because of high winds
High pressure under skaters shoes lowers melting point of ice explain?
Under the pressure exerted by skates, the melting point of ice decreases due to the compression of the ice crystals. When pressure is applied, the ice molecules become more tightly packed together, causing a decrease in the amount of energy required for the molecules to transition from a solid to a liquid phase. This is why the pressure from skate blades can lead to the melting of ice beneath them, allowing for smooth gliding.
What is the high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
Rarefaction
Why is the inner core solid despite its enormously high temperatures?
It's because of the pressure from the layers above causes the particles of iron and nickel to be tightly packed.

Do transitional metals have high density?
Yes, transitional metals do have high density.(This is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice of the metallic structure.)

When a campfire rock is split openthe inside has a smooth surface and the grains are tightly packed. Why?
The high temperatures inside the rock cause the rock particles to melt and on cooling, they cement tightly together
Are non metals high density?
No, metals are denser. They have a more tightly packed crystal lattice structure. Their nuclei tend to be more massive and can be more tightly packed due to their electrons being delocalized.
Why don't gases conduct electricity at high pressure?
The conduction of electricity requires the presence of 'free' electrons on the conductor. When a gas is highly pressurized, electrons are 'tightly packed' with the atoms surrounding it and are no longer 'free' to move in its orbit. Without the movement of free electrons, electricity cannot be conducted through the highly pressurized gas.
Is rarefaction a high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
No. A rarefaction is the region of a sound wave where the particles are spread out rather than close together. The closer together regions are compressions. These terms are used about waves in air, not weather systems.
