A nimbostratus cloud is a multilevel, amorphous, nearly uniform, and often dark-grey cloud that usually produces continuous rain, snow, or sleet, but no...

appear under the precipitation of major rain-bearing clouds; these are nimbostratus and cumulonimbus clouds, and are classified as pannus clouds. Stratus...

the mid-altitude range and sometimes higher in the case of nimbostratus. Genus nimbostratus (Ns) – This is a diffuse, dark gray, multi-level stratiform...

rainfall and lowering of the cloud base causes altostratus to become nimbostratus. Unlike most other types of clouds, altostratus clouds are not subdivided...

from the earth’s surface, precipitation can begin to fall from heavy nimbostratus. If unstable altocumulus castellanus accompanies or takes the place of...

fibratus, it can mean that the front is weak and that stratus rather than nimbostratus will be the precipitating cloud (meaning drizzle or snow grains instead...

the moisture within the rising air will condense into clouds, namely nimbostratus and cumulonimbus if significant precipitation is involved. Eventually...
