What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?
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.
How do scientist predict that there's going to be precipitation?
By measuring air pressure, and watching cloud patterns mostly
What kind of weather does each cloud predict?
A cummulus cloud predicts fine weather, a cirrus predicts okay weather (also fine), stratus are often connected to stormy weather, and a nimbus is probably going to bring rain.
How do Mammatus clouds form?
Hot air rising and sthen cools and sinks and forms udder like shaped clouds
What type of weather does a Cirrus cloud indicate?
It indicates wind shear, which doesn't affect the earth's core much.
What is a mammatus on a tornado?
A mammatus cloud is not a cloud characteristic of tornadoes, but it is often associated with severe thunderstorms. Mammatus clouds consist of small, smooth puffs of cloud that hand down from the base of a larger cloud, often the anvil of a thunderstorm.
Which cloud is associated with severe weather?
Mammatus. Mammatus is cloud that hangs from an anvil of a mature storm cloud and brings severe weather especially tornadoes. Another one is called Cumulonimbus. These clouds bring VERY heavy rain or thunder storms.
Where does Mammatus cloud form?
Mammatus clouds form on the underside of a storm cloud and are most often associated with the anvil cloud that extends from a cumulonimbus. They have also been seen under altocumulus, altostratus, stratocumulus, and cirrus clouds, as well as volcanic ash clouds.
What weather does a billow cloud predict?
no weather
Which type of cloud would most likely lead you to predict a thunderstorm?
The cumulonimbus cloud.
What is a dark cloud shaped like sagging pouches that often appear after a tornado called?
These sagging pouches are likely a type of cloud known as mammatus. Such clouds are not necessarily associated with tornadoes, but are a feature of thunderstorms. They are generally more common during severe storms.

What planet are mammatus clouds on?
On Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

How can you tell if the cloud above you is a nimbostratus or a cumulonimbus?
Nimbostratus is a thick cloud, typically formed on a warm front, as air is lifted over a large area (i.e. mass ascent). Precipitation is rain or snow (or a mix of both), and this can last for several hours.A cumulonimbus is formed by convection and is much taller than it is wide. Cumulonimbus clouds bring heavy showersof rain or snow, but they also bring thunder and lightning and hail. The showers will usually last for less than one hour.Finally, if you look at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud, you may see dark pouches (called mammatus) hanging down. These are caused by air currents trying to fall to the ground.You won't see mammatus under Nimbostratus, nor will you get thunder and lightning or hail. Thunderstorms = Cumulonimbus.
How high are Mammatus clouds?
They form on the under side of mountains.
Temperatures in a cloud are below freezing a warmer air lies between the cloud and the ground what type of precipitation do you predict will occur?
Snow will form because snow falls through colder and drier air:)
