How air pressure is a factor for predicting weather?

In general High Pressure promotes atmospheric stablity (clear sunny weather) and warmer temperatures, while Low Pressure promotes atmospheric instablity (storminess) and somewhat cooler temperatures. In low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a counterclockwise direction and moves upward. This promotes cloud formation cooler temps and sometimes storms. In high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a clockwise direction and moves downward (subsidence). This inhibits cloud formation and usually increases temperatures.
