How do nimbostratus clouds form?

How do nimbostratus clouds form? Nimbostratus clouds form through the deepening and thickening of an altostratus cloud, often along warm or occluded fronts. These clouds extend through the lower and mid layers of the troposphere bringing rain to the surface below. read more

Mutatus mother clouds: Nimbostratus can form due to the complete transformation of altocumulus, altostratus and stratocumulus. Relation to other clouds Multi-level nimbostratus is physically related to other stratiform genus-types by way of being non-convective in nature. read more

Nimbostratus are thick homogeneous rain clouds formed by air saturating by increasingly thickening cloud at a warm front. Their depth runs from near ground level to high levels- over 20,000 feet. Rain, often heavy, falls as soon as the dew point is reached in the saturated air. read more
