Cumulonimbus Clouds (Cb)

Here one can see the development of a Cumulonimbus above the mountains of Forli. The first images were taken at 11.30 a.m. and show a Cumulonimbus cloud just before icing. The last two pictures show the event 45 minutes later.

Wind shear has inhibited the generation of a complete Cb as a thunderstorm cloud which could generate precipitation.
