Answer:

The clouds are mainly cumulonimbus.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Thunderstorms is a relatively small storm but usually quite intense. As little as 10 percent of thunderstorms may be considered severe globally. These severe thunderstorms may lead to high winds, hail, flash floods, and tornadoes. Severe thunderstorms may be injurious to health and even lead to fatalities.

Thunderstorms are produced by cumulonimbus clouds, hence Antonio's observation of a cumulonimbus correlates well with the prediction of a thunderstorm.
