How a Small Cumulus Cloud Grows Into a Thunderstorm
Original: Science Behind the Forecast: How a little cumulus cloud can be become a big thunderstorm
Louisville Public Media's 'Science Behind the Forecast' segment explains how a small cumulus cloud can develop into a large thunderstorm. The explorable piece walks through the atmospheric conditions, such as heat, moisture and rising air, that allow ordinary fair-weather clouds to build vertically into storm cells capable of heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds.
Why now: Weather explainer content tends to draw attention during active or changing storm seasons.
