  3. . • 5km – 8 km high (6,500ft. and 20,000 ft.) • Parallel bands or round masses • Presence of altocumulus clouds on a warm and humid day may be an indication by thunderstorms later in the day or following weeks. www.crh.noaa.gov

  4. Cold Front • Cold air lifts warm/moist air • As the warm air raises, water vapor condenses. • This produces altocumulus clouds. Patrick L. Abbott. Natural Disasters. Fifth Edition Pg. 276-279

  5. Severe Weather Storms! . • If the cold front is strong and traveling fast, it can create frontal thunderstorms that would produce rain for several hours in a large area. Results can lead to floods and sever wind. www.crh.noaa.gov

  6. Floods Results • The results from the even can create secondary to tertiary effects of heavy rain that can create inconveniences or destruction of property.

  7. Reflection I could use this information, by knowing some information of weather and disasters. Next time I hear the news taking about cold fronts or anything about weather. I can try to predict, hey it may be sever wind and rainstorm. So I can avoid going out and the events won’t effect me if I prepare at home.
