Do cirrus clouds bring thunderstorms?
Cirrus clouds generally do not bring thunderstorms. They are high-level clouds composed of ice crystals and are typically associated with fair weather. Thunderstorms are usually associated with cumulonimbus clouds, which are large and dense clouds that can reach high altitudes and produce thunder, lightning, and heavy precipitation.

What clouds are larger and darker on the bottom and produce thunderstorms?
Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm.
