Document Title: Rain in the city (DI00383)
Description: City dwellers may be taken by surprise when thunderstorms sweep into town. Cumulonimbus, or thunderstorm, clouds produce rain, thunder, lightning, and if conditions are right, tornadoes. Thunderstorms form as the moisture in updrafts--rapidly rising, warm air--condenses into raindrops or hail, which begin to fall when the updrafts no longer have the energy to carry the heavy precipitation.
