Multicell cluster

Multi cell storms form as clusters of storms but may then evolve into an organized line or lines of storms ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstorm#Multicell_cluster). They often arise from convective updrafts in or near mountain ranges and linear weather boundaries, usually strong cold fronts or troughs of low pressure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstorm#Multicell_cluster). This tyoe of storm can be very dangerous because they form one after another.

Multicell line

Multicell thunderstorms are also know squall lines. These storm form in clusters. All the elements from thunderstorms are present in these storms. Bow echos are also present in these stoems as well. These bow echos bring very strong winds. Occasionally, squall lines also form near the outer rain band of tropical cyclones ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstorm#Multicell_cluster). The squall line is propelled by its own outflow, which reinforces continuous development of updrafts along the leading edge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstorm#Multicell_cluster).

Types of thunderstorms: Single Cell

There are four types of thunderstorms. I am going to talk about one of those today. This one is a single cell thunderstorm. A single cell thunderstorm is basically what normal thunderstorm is. There is only one updraft that goes along with the storm. These types of thunderstorm mostly develop over the summer. These thunderstorm also develop along a cold front as well. I will explain what a cold front is later. At times, these storms either move or don't move. They can be very slow moving storms.

Severe Thunderstorm

When the elements are there, the weather can get quite dangerous. A severe thunderstorm can be very dangerous. It can bring all sorts of things with it. It can bring very strong winds, heavy rain, hail and possibly a tornado. You using have these types of storms during summer and fall. The lightning in these storm are dangerous for somebody to be outside.

Freezing Rain and Snow

Freezing Rain is a type of precipitation that begins as snow at higher altitude, falling from a cloud towards earth, melts completely on its way down while passing through a layer of air above freezing temperature, and then encounters a layer below freezing at lower level to become supercooled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain). Freezing Rain can make things very dangerous to driving conditions. It can make the roads very slick. It can cause you to be without power for several hours.

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow).

Fog, Hail

Fog form when a cloud touches the ground. Fog is usually formed when you have alot of humidity in the air. Alot of times, you have a hard time seeing in the front you. Fog can form and it can dissolve just as quickly. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog). The foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island of Newfoundland, Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog).



Hail is basically ice. Hail is usually small, but can be big when coming from a severe thunderstorm. There needs to be a strong updraft in a thunderstorm for it to produce hail. Hail can do alot of damage to your house, car. Hailstones on Earth usually consist mostly of water ice and measure between 5 and 50 millimetres in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe thunderstorms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail).

Thunderstorms

A thunderstorm is the type of weather that bring thunder and lightning with it. The lightning of these storms can be very dangerous at times. You shouldn't go by tress or grab anything metal during a thnderstorm because if you do, the result will be very shocking. Some of these thunderstorm can also bring other factors to it. Such as hail, strong winds, heavy rain, and quite possibly if the situation is right, a tornado. A thunderstorm can also produce snow instead of rain. This is very rare to happen, but it's possible.

What is weather?

Everyone knows what weather is. The weather is very unpredictable at times. The weather can be sunny on one day then be rainy the next day. The weather also has an affect on people as well. Our climate is always changing. There are different types of elements that go along with weather. There is clouds, rain, snow, ice, fog etc. The weather is alway challenging us in our everyday lives. The weather can be quite dangerous as well. Some people think that just becasue you have a shelter of some kind to protect you from these powerful storm, it doesn't mean that you will always be protect. The weather can change at a moments notice. Sometimes you don't know how too react that quickly. Most people take the weather for granted. In the next, I will explain some of the dangerous element to the weather phenomenon.

Intro

Everybody can tell that they know everything about the weather. I am going tell you something that you might not know. First I am going to just tell you what are different types of weather see every year. From rain to thunderstorms to tornados. You name it, I write about. Throughout this sememster, you might be surprised to find out something that you didn't know. So hopefully by reading my blogs, you might learn soemthing that you might not know about .
