CLOUDS By Donna Victor

An Afternoon at CSUN

Cirrus Thin High Like mare’s tails or feathers Mild weather

Cumulus Like cotton Cauliflower shape Fair weather Can become storm clouds

Stratus Sheet-like Dull, gray Blankets the sky Can bring drizzle

Cirrostratus Fog Halos around sun or moon High See-through Can mean rain is coming

Nimbostratus Rain and snow Thick Low Dark Can bring thunderstorms

Cumulonimbus Rain Thunderstorms, sleet, snow, hail Anvil shaped Low bases, high tops Can bring tornados

Cumulonimbus with tornado Fast and powerful whirling winds Hail Thunderstorms Can cause destruction
