If a mountain ridge forces moist air upward, what can you infer about where cloud formation will most likely occur?

Moist air forced up a mountain cools as it rises. When it cools enough to reach saturation, water vapor condenses into clouds, so cloud formation is most likely on the windward slope. Descending air on the leeward side warms and becomes drier, making clouds less likely there.
