Rising air in the vicinity of a low pressure center favors the development of clouds and precipitation, which is why cloudy weather (and likely precipitation) are commonly associated with an area of low pressure.
INVOF- In the Vicinity OF
IRIDESCENCE - brilliant patches of green or pink sometimes seen near the edges of high- or medium-level clouds.
ISALLOBAR- A line of equal surface pressure change.
It is often found in the vicinity of the jet stream where large shears in the horizonal and vertical are found, although this turbulence is not limited just to jet stream locale.
Rain gauge shield A device which surrounds a rain gauge and acts to maintain horizontal flow in the vicinity of the funnel so that the catch will not be influenced by eddies generated near the gauge.

Ice fog is rare at temperatures warmer than -30°C, and increases in frequency with decreasing temperature until it is almost always present at air temperatures of -45°C in the vicinity of a source of water vapor.
With a known height of the instrument, the telescope can be used to determine the elevation of other points in the vicinity.
fog - Water droplets suspended in the atmosphere in the vicinity the earth's surface that affect visibility. According to international definition, fog reduces visibility below 1 km (0.62 miles).
A moisture plume extends northeastward from the western tropical Pacific towards the general vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands. A strong blocking anticyclone is located in the Gulf of Alaska with a strong polar jet stream around its northern flank.
