Clouds are named by their height.
Strato means low so that means Stratus is a low-lying cloud. Where cirro means high making cirrus clouds high up in the atmosphere.
A stratus cloud is a sign of either fair weather or rain and snow.
A cumulus cloud is a sign of fairweather or thunderstorms.
A cirrus cloud is a sign of fairweather or approaching storms. this is because they have been pushed up into the atmosphere by the approaching storm systems.
Meteorologists get confusing when they start saying that stratocumlus clouds are coming in or that cirrostratus clouds are descending towards the earth. The only one i seem to understand is Cumulonimbus clouds which are storm clouds which often end up being thunderstorms.
