Stratus clouds
Nimbostratus clouds produce drizzle. These are low, thick layers of clouds associated with steady rain or snow. Drizzle is typically light precipitation that falls from these clouds.
The low cloud group includes clouds that form below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) such as stratus, cumulus, and stratocumulus clouds. These clouds are typically associated with overcast skies and can bring light rain or drizzle.
A light snowfall might be called a dusting of snow.
Yes. Warm fronts typically bring clouds and light rain or snow.
Altostratus clouds typically bring overcast or mostly cloudy skies. They are thin and gray clouds that can obscure the sun or moon, resulting in a diffused or filtered light. Altostratus clouds generally do not produce precipitation, but they may indicate that rain or snow is likely in the near future.
Stratus clouds are often associated with drizzle. These low-level clouds form a uniform layer and are known for their ability to produce light precipitation like drizzle or light rain.
Unbroken layers of low gray clouds that bring light rain, snow, or drizzle are typically associated with stratus clouds. These clouds form in stable atmospheric conditions and cover the sky like a blanket, leading to overcast weather. When the moisture in these clouds condenses, it results in light precipitation, such as drizzle or light snow, often lacking the intensity of heavier rain systems.

Stratus clouds can bring light drizzle or steady light rain, but they are not typically associated with heavy rainfall. These clouds are low-lying and often cover the sky in a uniform layer, which can lead to prolonged periods of light rain or mist.
Yes, stratus clouds are low-lying clouds that are often associated with overcast skies and light drizzle. While they may not always produce rain, they can bring precipitation in the form of light rain or drizzle.
The clouds you are describing sound like nimbostratus clouds. These clouds are characterized by their thick, low-level appearance and can bring continuous light rain or drizzle as they cover the sky, blocking out sunlight. Nimbostratus clouds are often associated with overcast and gloomy weather conditions.
Stratocumulus clouds typically bring partly cloudy weather with no precipitation, although it can sometimes develop into overcast skies and light rain or drizzle. They are low-level clouds that look like a patchwork of cotton balls and can indicate stable atmospheric conditions.
Nimbostratus clouds produce drizzle. These are low, thick layers of clouds associated with steady rain or snow. Drizzle is typically light precipitation that falls from these clouds.
Not necessarily. The word stratus means layered. If the stratus clouds are low enough they can result in ground fog. Stratus clouds can also produce a light, but steady rain or snow.
Low sheet-like clouds are called stratus clouds. They are typically gray or white in color and appear as a uniform layer covering a large portion of the sky. Stratus clouds often bring steady, light precipitation such as drizzle or light rain.
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. Date 9/4/12
cirrus clouds cant rain because they are to high the altitude in them is just to much. and the cloud is only ice crystal
