In the first stage of a thunderstorm it does what?

In the first stage of a thunderstorm, warm air rises rapidly due to heating from the sun. As the warm air rises, it cools, condenses, and forms cumulus clouds. This stage is known as the cumulus stage.


What cloud would you might see when a thunderstorm is approaching?

You might see dark, ominous clouds such as cumulonimbus clouds when a thunderstorm is approaching. These clouds are tall and dense, often bringing heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and sometimes hail. They can develop rapidly and indicate the potential for severe weather.


Which observation would indicate that rain is approaching?

One way you can tell is if you watch animals around you. They start to act abnormally. Horses will always have their muzzles in the air, sniffing...etc. Some people have the ability to tell by feeling. For example, some people can smell the precipitation in the air. Some people can feel the way the wind changes, and know that rain, and perhaps a storm is on the horizon. People who live in a place where there's much rain and where they're outside allot, such as in the country, will be able to tell better than someone who lives in the city. Some trees turn their leaves upward when rain is aproaching which is an easy sign to spot since those trees are tall are can be seen from far away.


How could you differentiate between a supercell an ordinary thunderstorm cell?

Supercells are long-lived thunderstorms with a rotating updraft, distinct from ordinary thunderstorm cells. Supercells have a well-defined, persistent updraft called a mesocyclone that can produce severe weather like large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. First signs of a supercell include a classic anvil shape, overshooting top, and a persistent rotating updraft, while ordinary thunderstorm cells lack these characteristics.

Thunder and lightning, sky darkens, winds increase. A better long distance warning is crackily static on an AM radio. You can only hear thunder about 8 miles away, but the static can be heard about 40 miles away from the storm.
