Pentrating Towering Cumulus Clouds
Thunderstorm season is up us. I get a little concerned when I see
towering cumulus clouds forming in my flight path because I know that towering cumulus clouds can turn into thunderstorms. 1. Assuming that thunderstorms were not predicted for the area, is my concern unjustified? 2. Do most towering cumulus clouds not mature into thunderstorms? 3. Wouldn't large towering cumulus clouds have chartacteristics similar to thunderstorms (severe turbulence, possible hail, heavy rain, icing) even if they don't end up becoming an official thunderstorm (lightning present). Your advice and experiences would be most appreciated. -Sami, N2057M Piper Turbo Arrow III |
