Editing Stratocumulus cloud (section)

===Precipitation===
Most often, stratocumulus produce no precipitation, and when they do, it is generally only light [[rain]] or [[snow]]. However, these clouds are often seen at either the front or tail end of worse weather, so they may indicate storms to come, in the form of [[Thunderstorm|thunderheads]] or [[Gust front|gusty winds]]. They are also often seen underneath the cirrostratus and altostratus sheets that often precede a warm front, as these higher clouds decrease the sun's heat and therefore convection, causing any cumulus clouds to spread out into stratocumulus clouds.
