What is a characteristic typical of a stable air mass?

A characteristic typical of a stable air mass is continuous precipitation. When an air mass is stable, it tends to inhibit vertical motion and prevents the rapid development of clouds and thunderstorms. Instead of showery precipitation, which is associated with instability and convective activity, continuous precipitation typically occurs in stable conditions. This type of precipitation is more moderate and can last for extended periods, often associated with overcast conditions and broad, uniform stratiform clouds. The inability of stable air to rise rapidly limits the formation of cumuliform clouds, thunderstorms, and showery precipitation, reinforcing the characteristic nature of stable air masses.
