Cumulonimbus
Cumulonimbus
That is known as a multi-level or deep convective cloud system. It is capable of producing severe weather such as thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, and even tornadoes due to its great vertical extent and vigorous updrafts.
Thunderstorms are usually the most severe in the afternoon and evening hours. Sometimes if the instability is good, there can be storms through the overnight & morning hours.
Not all isolated thunderstorms develop into severe thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are characterized by specific criteria such as strong winds, large hail, and tornadoes, which may or may not be present in isolated thunderstorms. Factors like atmospheric instability, moisture content, and wind shear can contribute to the development of severe weather conditions.

Air masses typically last longer than severe thunderstorms. Air masses can persist over a region for days to weeks, while severe thunderstorms typically last for a few hours.
Yes. Severe thunderstorms are not uncommon in Texas, especially the northeastern portion of the state, which is in Tornado Alley.

Yes, tornadoes can form within the same cloud system as thunderstorms. Tornadoes typically develop from severe thunderstorms known as supercells, which are characterized by rotating updrafts. When conditions are right, the rotating updraft can intensify into a tornado.
Severe thunderstorms are more likely to occur along the front due to the collision of warm and cold air masses, creating instability and lifting air rapidly. This leads to the development of thunderstorms with the potential for severe weather such as strong winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions as the front moves through the region.
