1. 15. Warm, moist air rises quickly, and the moisture condenses into a visible cloud. Then updrafts form.
2. 14. Equal amounts of updrafts and downwards from convection cells.
3. 19. The updrafts slow as downdrafts decrease the supply of warm, moist surface air.
4. 16. Falling precipitation cools the air around it, forming downdrafts.
5. 17. Precipitation begins to fall.
6. 18. The updrafts cease and precipitation stops.
