Clear skies generally accompany areas of high pressure.
In areas of high pressure the air is being squeezed more by the air above it than it is in areas of lower pressure. So the air will tend to get pushed away from the high pressure area.

Areas of low pressure
"Cool, descending air meets moist air in the low areas near the river."
Descending air not allow clouds to form because air rises at low pressures.
Descending air not allow clouds to form because air rises at low pressures.
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
descending air
The descending air of an anticyclone generally causes dry, clear air.
This is what happens when you pull the trigger on a pneumatic nailer: ... The packed air drives the cylinder and the edge descending, impelling the nail out of the chamber. As the cylinder slides descending, it drives the air inside the chamber through a progression of gaps, into an arrival air chamber

Areas of rising air causes low air pressure areas where as areas of sinking air are areas of high air pessure.
