Thunderstorms
1) Cumulus clouds are vertically developed clouds. 2) Cumulus clouds have a flat base, which is the location of the lifting condensation level. 3) Cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds. 4) Cumulus clouds have a lifetime of less than an hour.
We would get bad weather
A stable layer
When the pressure is decreasing, what is likely happening is that air mass is getting less stable. So if the trend continues, expect the weather to become more unsettled. This could mean an increase ins surface winds, more clouds in the sky, or may precipitation may occur in the near future.
Falling barometer means low pressure, which means a storm/ bad weather.

In the sky especially when a storm coming
You expect calm weather with few or no clouds.
The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather. This means that the low layered cloud you saw was either a stratus or cumulonimbus cloud which are both storm clouds. Cirrus clouds don't always predict storms, but that was probably what was happening.

Cumulus clouds usually indicate fair weather. However, towering cumulus clouds may be a precursor to thunderstorms.
You might expect a rainy or foggy day.

The answer all depends on what is happening with the weather at any given time. North Dakota and Fargo have times of clear weather and times of clouds, and sometimes they have both clear weather in part of the state and clouds in another part of the state.
A nimbus is a type of storm cloud, so expect precipitation and little sun if the weather forecaster says that nimbus clouds are on the way.
If you see an altocumulus clouds in the morning expect thunderstorms by late afternoon.
Stratus clouds typically do not bring in much, if any precipitation. "Stratus" is sometimes known as fog. Usually one would expect overcast skies and some drizzle.
