Stratus Clouds
What do Stratus clouds look like? Where do they hang in the sky?
Stratus clouds tend to be dark and grey. They can be found low in the skyline.
A cool thing about stratus clouds is that they can hang either very close to the ground or even on the ground! When this happens, people call this fog.

What is the weather going to be like when you see a Stratus cloud?
Stratus clouds predict precipitation! So that means, if it is warm out and there are stratus clouds in the sky, you better grab your umbrella and head inside cause rain is on the way!
And if it is cold out, for example, during the winter, grab your snow pants and get ready for some sledding! In the cold, stratus clouds will bring with them lots of white and frosty snow.

Let's let Dave help us observe some important things! If you hit play he will help remind you what to look for.
What are the three things we need to know about each cloud? Where is the cloud located? What weather came along with this cloud? Will you be able to identify this cloud later on? Dave can help remind you what to pay attention to. |
