1) The cumulus (developing) stage.

2) Rain begins to fall during the mature stage.

3) The dissipating stage begins when strong downdrafts cut off the warm, moist updrafts (i.e., when updrafts weaken and the storm loses its energy source).

4) In the mature stage both strong updrafts and downdrafts exist; this is the storm's most intense phase with heavy rain, lightning, thunder, gusty winds and sometimes hail.

Answer to Oliver's checklist question: C — yes, because the questions pertain to the topic of the assignment.
