Nimbostratus are dark, low-level clouds accompanied by light to moderately falling precipitation. Low clouds are
primarily composed of water droplets since their bases generally lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). However,
when temperatures are cold enough, these clouds may also contain ice particles and snow.
The word Nimbostratus means "rainstorm" and "spread out" in Latin. Nimbostratus clouds color the sky a
solid gray. These clouds develop when a front of warm, moist air meets a body of cold, dry air.
