Must have winds of at least 120 KM/Hour.The way the air is at a certain time in a certain place.Stong windsThis is a storm with heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and thunder 12 Tornado The way the air is at a certain time in a certain place.High, wispy cloud made of ice crystalsThis is a storm with heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and thunderA type of severe weather described by the Fujita Scale; violent, rotating column of air formed at the base of a cumulonimbus cloud that makes contact 13 Cumulus Cloud High, wispy cloud made of ice crystalsWhite, fluffy cloud with a flat bottom that usually signals fair weatherA tall dark cloud that produces thunderstormsA boundary between two air masses with different temperatures 14 Stationary Front . type of front that forms when a mass of warm air meets a mass of cold air and no movement occursA boundary between two air masses with different temperatures, density, or moisture; can be cold, warm, occluded, and stationary.Mass of cold air meets a mass of hot air and fast movement occursHigh, wispy cloud made of ice crystals 15 Humidity Boundary formed where a cold air mass overtakesHigh, wispy cloud made of ice crystalsThe amount of water vapor in the air.Temperatures, high winds, and a great amount of snow precipitation 16 Front The way the air is at a certain time in a certain place.Boundary formed where a cold air mass overtakesBoundary formed where a hot air mass overtakesA boundary between two air masses with different temperatures, density, or moisture; can be cold, warm, occluded, and stationary. 17 Cold Front A tall dark cloud that produces thunderstormsThe amount of water vapor in the air.This is a storm with heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and thunderBoundary formed where a cold air mass overtakes and lifts a warm air mass 18 Station Model Indicates weather conditions at a specific location, using a combination of symbols on a map.Boundary formed where a hot air mass overtakesA boundary between two air masses with different temperaturesBoundary formed where a cold air mass overtakes 19 Occluded Front A tall dark cloud that produces thunderstormsBoundary formed where a hot air mass overtakesA warm air mass trapped between two cold air massesA boundary between two air masses with different temperatures 20 Thunderstorm A boundary between two air masses with different temperaturesThis is a storm with heavy rain, strong wind, lightning and thunderHigh, wispy cloud made of ice crystalsThe way the air is at a certain time in a certain place.
