Stratus clouds are associated with either a warm front or a stationary front. Warm fronts typically bring steady, prolonged precipitation, while stationary fronts can lead to more prolonged periods of overcast conditions.
A warm front typically forms long, thin stratus clouds. As warmer air rises and cools slowly over a longer distance, it creates a layer of stratus clouds that can extend for miles ahead of the front. This can result in overcast conditions with light, steady precipitation.
Cumulus clouds and stratus clouds are the main types of clouds that form at lower altitudes. Cumulus clouds are fluffy, white clouds with flat bases, while stratus clouds are layered clouds that often bring overcast skies and light precipitation.
Stratocumulus, nimbostratus, or cumulonimbus clouds can form behind a front, typically associated with cooler air moving in. These clouds can bring precipitation and sometimes thunderstorms depending on the atmospheric conditions.
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
