The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the northern hemisphere. "Buys Ballot's Law states that “In the Northern Hemisphere, if you stand with your back to the wind then the lower pressure will be on your left”"
So if the wind is pushing you to the right you are heading towards the low pressure and the altimeter will read high.
High to low, lookout below.
