Default Mountain ranges and weather fronts

What happens when a weather front moves towards a mountain range? I know
the mountain range acts as a barrier so it'll rain longer on the windward
side of the mountain range. Does friction also play a role? Does air
converge at the mountain range and cause the surface pressure to deepen? Is
there anything else I'm overlooking?

Thanks
