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 can you determine what type of precipitation will occur?
if the cloud is wide and heavy the precipitation will occur is rain. if the cloud is narrow and light the precipitation will occur is drizzle.
What type of cloud is thick enough to blot out sunlight?
Nimbostratus clouds are thick enough to blot out sunlight. This type of cloud is associated with heavy, continuous rain or snow.
Which type of cloud is most likely to cause rain or snow?
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
What type of cloud doesn't produce rain?
water
What are the three types of precipitation and how does each one occur?
1. Hail is a type of precipitation, hail is a huge clump of ice that falls from the sky when strong winds blow up into a cloud then goes to the top of the cloud and begins to fall 2.sleet is another type of precipitation , sleet is like hail expect smaller and it forms when rain begins to fall and passes very cold layer in the sky and forms into sleet 3. snow is the third type of precipitation ,snow forms when rain forms and falls from the sky and hits a very cold layer in the sky and freezes into snow. 4.rain is the last type of type of precipitation , rain forms when snow falls at the top of a cloud and then stops at a very warm layer of the sky and melts then rain begins to fall
