Stratus clouds bring, small amounts of rain. I may be wrong but I have a test on Clouds tomorrow so I should know. And for you information stratus clouds look like a long, fluffy, blanket, and are usually are gray. So when you see stratus clouds you MAY have rain. Like I said I can't promise you that every stratus cloud will bring little rain. So if you'll be walking on a day stratus clouds will be out, bring a umbrella, just in case.

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.
Cumulus clouds and stratus clouds are the main types of clouds that form at lower altitudes. Cumulus clouds are fluffy, white clouds with flat bases, while stratus clouds are layered clouds that often bring overcast skies and light precipitation.
Stratus clouds typically form low in the atmosphere. They are flat, layered clouds that can cover the sky like a blanket, often bringing overcast and dreary weather.
Stratus clouds are low-lying uniform clouds which blanket the sky. They are often a dullish white to gray in color, and they are generally the sort of clouds which appear when people talk about a "cloudy day." Stratus clouds are not generally associated with poor weather, although they can be accompanied by drizzle, and at higher altitudes, they can be an indicator that rain is on the way. The next time you look out the window onto an oppressively cloudy day with low-lying clouds, you'll know that you are looking at stratusstratus clouds.
Cold weather front have low pressure air and rain/snow/hail/tornadoes and even hurricanes depending on location. Cold fronts bring huge, towering, billowing clouds [Cumulonimbus] that bring thunderstorms. Warm weather fronts bring gentle precipitation and high pressure air. Warm weather fronts also bring sheetlike clouds [Stratus] and wispy clouds [Cirrus] On the other hand, when there is no front, puffy white clouds [Cumulus] come on fair sunny days.
Stratus clouds usually bring overcast skies, light precipitation like drizzle or mist, and stable atmospheric conditions. They can also indicate foggy or misty weather at the surface.
