Title: CLOUD TYPES ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE WEATHER
Caption: Clouds consist of very small water droplets and are classified on the basis of altitude (low, middle, and high) and form (cirriform, cumuliform, and stratiform). Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Stratus clouds in contact with the ground form fog. (After Christopherson, R. W. 2006.
