🔍 Key Concepts

• Cloud families and levels (high, middle, low) and what they indicate about approaching fronts • Difference between cumulus-type (heap, convective) clouds and stratus-type (layered, frontal) clouds • Which mid-level layered cloud is often associated with advancing warm fronts and widespread weather systems

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether a tall, puffy (convective) cloud or a wide, layered (stratified) cloud is more likely to signal a large-scale approaching weather system rather than just local showers. • Think about which cloud types commonly appear hours before the arrival of steady rain or a frontal passage, rather than during brief, isolated squalls. • Consider the typical altitude (low, middle, high) of the cloud type that often spreads out ahead of an approaching warm front and gradually thickens over time.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option names a middle-level layered cloud commonly linked with frontal systems. • Eliminate any cloud names that are not standard or widely recognized in basic marine meteorology references. • Confirm which cloud type is known for giving a reliable early warning of an approaching large-scale weather system, not just local convective activity.
