Weather

3. a localized, violently destructive windstorm occurring over land and characterized by a long, funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground and made visible by condensation and debris
6. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground
7. the transition zone between two distinct airmasses
11. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud
13. instrument that measures wind speed.
14. a large volume of air in the atmosphere that is mostly uniform in temperature and moisture
15. fog or haze combined with smoke and other atmospheric pollutant
16. a violent, tropical, cyclonic storm of the western North Atlantic, having wind speeds of or in excess of 72 miles per hour

1. A rain-bearing cloud that also produces
2. an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure
4. the temperature to which the air must be cooled for water vapor to condense
5. The forward edge of an advancing mass of cold air that pushes under a mass of warm air. Cold fronts often cause heavy precipitation and/or thunderstorms.
8. The forward edge of an advancing mass of warm air that rises over and replaces a retreating mass of cooler air.
9. cloud type that appears feathery or wispy, form in very high altitudes and made of ice crystals
10. cloud type that forms in flat layers when air cools over a large area, tends to produce steady, light precipitation
12. atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer
