What is the typical weather condition associated with the dissipating stage of a thunderstorm?

The dissipating stage of a thunderstorm is characterized by a gradual decrease in storm intensity. During this phase, the storm begins to lose its energy and moisture supply, leading to a decline in precipitation and wind. As the storm weakens, you might still see some residual activity, but overall, the conditions are marked by a noticeable reduction in thunderstorm activity.

Typically, this stage follows the mature stage of the storm, during which the strongest winds, heaviest rain, and greatest vertical development are present. As the storm dissipates, it transitions to lighter precipitation and eventually to clear skies. Understanding this process helps in predicting weather changes and in ensuring safety for aerial operations, particularly for unmanned aircraft systems.
