What kind of weather would cumulonimbus clouds likely bring?
Heavy Showers, Thunderstorms or Hail
Can low cumulonimbus clouds bring both thunderstorms and tornadoes?
Low-topped cumulonimbus clouds can easily bring thunderstorms. Tornadoes are less likely than in a high-topped storm, but are still possible. If you are referring to cumulonimbus clouds with a low base, then yes. In fact, tornadoes develop mor easily in low-based storms.
Where does hail form?
Hail happens in areas with many cumulonimbus clouds, or an area where thunderstorms or tornadoes are most likely to happen. Hail forms in clouds, and the more water the cloud has absorbed, the bigger the hail pellets are going to be.
Which type of cloud is most likely to cause rain or snow?
There are two main rain/snow making clouds. Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time. Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning. These are the clouds that will make rain and snow
Why might cumulonimbus clouds be more likely to form on sunny days than on days with little sunlight?
because they appear when warm air rises and its water vapor condenses
What types of clouds are thunderstorms most likely to form?
altostratus ,altocumulus and cumulonimbus are thunderstorm clouds
What kind of weather would cumulonimbus clouds likely bring?
Heavy Showers, Thunderstorms or Hail
Can low cumulonimbus clouds bring both thunderstorms and tornadoes?
Low-topped cumulonimbus clouds can easily bring thunderstorms. Tornadoes are less likely than in a high-topped storm, but are still possible. If you are referring to cumulonimbus clouds with a low base, then yes. In fact, tornadoes develop mor easily in low-based storms.
What type of frontal zone would be most likely to cause cumulonimbus clouds to form and produce thunderstorms?
A cold front.
What front are thunderstorms most likely to form in?
cumulonimbus
What type of cloud is normally associated with thunder storm?
Cumulonimbus.
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.

What type of clouds will most likely form at the place where the two meet?
cumulonimbus
What happens with altocumulus clouds?
Thunderstorms will most likely come later in the day
Are nimbus clouds storm clouds?
Well a nimbus cloud is not a cloud. If you are referring to a cumulonimbus cloud than yes. A cumulonimbus cloud is a storm cloud. Clouds that have names that include -nimbus or nimbo- are likely to produce precipitation.
What kind of weather will nimbostrtus clouds bring?
usually thunderstorms, maybe tornadoes (not likely).
What kind of clouds are usually in the sky when it rains?
it is most likely to be either a nimbostratus cloud or a cumulus cloud.
