Thunderstorms can result from cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall and dense clouds associated with intense convective activity. These clouds can produce lightning, thunder, heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes hail.
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes can all cause damage to vegetation and man made structure through their winds. Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.
Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms, which can produce tornadoes under the right conditions. Low cumulonimbus clouds may bring severe weather like thunderstorms that have the potential to produce tornadoes. Stay alert to weather warnings in these conditions.
Hail is typically associated with severe thunderstorms that have strong updrafts, which can carry raindrops high into the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. Hail often falls during intense storms that also produce heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning.
Violent tornadoes are typically associated with supercell thunderstorms, which have a rotating updraft known as a mesocyclone. This rotation enhances the storm's ability to produce tornadoes. Additionally, factors like wind shear, atmospheric instability, and moisture content contribute to the formation of violent tornadoes. Most thunderstorms do not have the right combination of these factors to produce such intense tornadoes.
