Generally speaking, both stratiform and convective clouds will produce precipitation. So stratus cloud ("scud") and stratocumulus will produce drizzle, cumulus and/or cumulonimbus will produce showers of rain, snow or hail, while altostratus and nimbostratus will produce rain or snow. The middle level cloud altocumulus castellanus will produce light showers. Cirrus is composed of ice crystals and while virga (rain falling but evaporating) can sometimes be seen, high level cloud rarely produces precipitation. Bear in mind that the low, middle and high cloud etages vary in height with latitude so cirrus may be reported over polar regions at 10,000 ft, so it's possible that precipitation may fall from cirrus over high latitude regions.

∙ 9y agoThere are many kinds of clouds associated with a warm front before, during, and after it occurs. It usually starts with cirrostratus, cirrus, nimbostratus, stratus clouds, and sometimes cumulonimbus clouds appear. During the front, there are usually has nimbostratus clouds and sometimes cumulonimbus clouds. After the front, there are usually has stratocumulus and stratus clouds.

What kind of front is associated with status clouds?
It is associated with a warm front
What cloud type is associated with warm fronts?
Before the warm front there are cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Nearer to the front the clouds are stratoform and lower, often precipitating.
Which types of front is most likely to generate cumulonimbus clouds and severe thunderstorms?
warm front
What type of front is approaching if you see cirrus clouds high in the sky EXPLAIN how you know?
Cirrus clouds are followed by an approaching warm front.

What kind of clouds are likely to from at the edge of this front?
It really depends on the type of front. There are two types of fronts, warm and cold. Different types of clouds appear at different points as the front passes over head.
Are warm fronts associated with clouds and rain?
Not Normally, usually when warm fronts heat the air up, when cold fronts come around, that is the front that normally is associated with clouds and rain. When warm and cold air collide, that's when the development of storms come around.

How are clouds formed during a warm front?
Clouds are formed during warm front when it condenses....
When combined does the different types of clouds cause a cold front?
Not always. Although many cumulnimbus clouds are associated with cold fronts, some form along dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts. Some form without any sort of front or organized weather system.
Where do warm fronts form?
Warm front form when air mass approaches a colder air mas. The warmer air lifts up and over the colder air.The first signs of the warm front are the cirrus clouds, followed by the cirrostratus, altostratus,and types of clouds.
