Yes! Warm air does rise, and cool air sinks. This happens because warm air is lighter than cold air, thus causing wind. The wind then rises from high pressure to low pressure. The wind travels East in in the Northern Hemisphere, and West in the Southern Hemisphere. For small, short lived systems, (like storms) the wind always goes from high pressure, to low pressure.
Also the cold air is more dense than the light air. :) Enjoy!

When is air most likely to rise?

Does the air in a high pressure area rise or fall?
It sinks
How do you test the temperature of the air?
Get a thermometer - the mercury will rise or fall accordingly to the temperature of the air.
What effect does cool temperature have on air?
Cool air is denser than warm air, making it less likely to rise. It also cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.
Why hot days mostly rain fall occur?
Rain fall tends to occur mostly on hot days because the hot air tends to evaporate and rise. When the water vapor increases, it cool and condenses to form clouds and soon rain.
When does air rise?
cool

When happens when cooler air and heated air interact?
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
