three types of clouds: cirrus, stratus, or cumulus
Cirrus clouds corse rain storm
Some common types of clouds include cumulus (fluffy and white), cirrus (thin and wispy), stratus (layered and smooth), and nimbus (dark and rain-bearing). Each type of cloud can indicate different weather patterns or changes.
Cumulonimbus clouds are most associated with atmospheric instability. These clouds are tall and dense, often producing heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and sometimes severe weather such as hail and tornadoes.
Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning and even tornadoes.
nimbus really means that a cloud that already has rain or snow falling out of it.
stationary fronts would most likely be responsible for several days of rain and clouds.
Rain clouds...obviouly!

regular rain
Nimbus clouds are the type of clouds that are typically associated with rain. These clouds are characterized by their dark, thick appearance and are responsible for producing precipitation in the form of rain.
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
Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.
Probably cumulus pronounced as it is spelled- Cum- You-Luss. these are normally fat and spread out clouds. Cumulonimbus, howver are thunderheads or heavy Rain clouds associated with thunderstorms. In Weather talk Nimbus by itself means rain or is associated with rain- Nimbo-stratus- high level rain cloud. etc.
Nimbostratus clouds bring heavy rain. These clouds are thick, dark, and cover the sky with rain falling steadily from them. They are associated with continuous, prolonged precipitation.
most likely light rain or snow showers
