The Dissipating stage, in which the downdraft overcomes the updraft and the clouds dissipate.
The stage of a thunderstorm that rain begins to fall is when the clouds begin to turn black and during and after the lightning strikes.
mature stage
Forms condensation and clouds
The Cumulus/Developing stage
1. Cumulus Stage 2. Mature Stage 3. Dissipating Stage
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
