1. Cumulus stage 2. Mature stage 3. Dissipating stage
The most intense stage of a thunderstorm. It begins when precipitation reaches the ground and is characterized by both an updraft and a downdraft. This is the stage in which you can expect heavy rainfall, hail, lightning, and high wind speeds. This stage ends when there is no longer any updraft and the cloud begins to dissipate.
The Three Stages are: - the Developing Stage/Cumulus Stage (which begins with up-drafts)- the Mature Stage (that has up-drafts, down-drafts, and a heavy amount of precipitation)- the Final Stage/Dissipating Stage (that has reduced precipitation)Hope that helped you out a bit. :)
Just 'the mature stage'.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
