This is a correct statement about the open stage of a midlatitude cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere. As the cyclone develops, warm air is lifted along a boundary known as a warm front, which advances northward, while cold air is denser and moves along a cold front, which advances southward to the west of the low-pressure center. This creates a region of rising air and low pressure in between the two fronts, where clouds and precipitation may occur.
