violent or severe disturbance of the atmosphere that usually creates dangerous, destructive or unpleasant conditions on Earth's surface

large summer and fall storms that form over tropical waters with sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour

most violent of all storms; small area of impact for a relatively short time; rotating, very low pressure funnel that hangs from the clouds

movement of air masses along the polar fronts result in the formation of low pressure storms associated with thunderstorms, tornados and ahil
