Huge, dark storm clouds.
Cumulo-nimbus
Violent, twisting storms that form from thunderstorms and occur over the land.
Tornado
Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Hail

Thermometer
Warm air rises and cools. Moisture in the air forms clouds that will bring rain. What pressure system is described?
Thin, wispy clouds that mean a change in the weather.
Cirrus
Storm that forms over tropical waters and causes flooding.
Hurricane
Causes the water in a puddle to dry up
Evaporation
Tool used to measure precipitation.
Rain Gauge
The air is dry and fair weather occurs. What pressure system causes this?
High pressure
Puffy, white clouds with flat bottoms that mean good weather.
Characterized by thundering and lightning and most often during the warmer months.
Thunderstorms
Causes clouds to form and water droplets to form on a drinking glass
Condensation
Tool used to measure wind speed.
Anemometer
Blue triangles that bring cooler air and storms

warm front
Warm air rises and meets cold air to form tiny droplets of water or ice which come together to form-
Clouds
This storm only lasts seconds or minutes and can be unpredictable.
A form of precipitation that can be produced by thunderstorms and tornadoes
hail
Tool used to measure air pressure.
Barometer
These clouds usually predict good/fair weather.
