4 STORMS A storm is a disturbed state of the atmosphere. It is marked by strong winds, rain, sleet, hail, and lightning. Thunderstorms, windstorms, and cyclones are different types of storms.

5 Thunderstorms When hot, moist air is carried to great heights by the strong updraft in a rain- bearing cloud, the water vapor condenses. Then heavy rain, thunder, and lightning occur along with strong wind, and sometimes hail. This is a thunderstorm.

6 Meteorologists and mariners consider winds to be at storm strength when they reach a speed of 73 miles (117 kilometers) per hour. Windstorms, or gales, have little or no precipitation.
