Understanding Thunderstorms and Storms
Thunderstorms are localized storms produced by cumulonimbus clouds and are always associated with lightning and thunder. Severe thunderstorms can produce damaging winds, large hail, and even tornadoes. Storms,in general,refer to any disturbed state of the atmosphere,implying strong winds and usually heavy precipitation.
The formation of thunderstorms requires three basic ingredients: moisture, unstable air, and a lifting mechanism. Moisture is needed to form clouds and precipitation. Unstable air, which is warm and humid near the surface and cold aloft, allows air to rise rapidly. A lifting mechanism, such as a front, a sea breeze, or daytime heating, can trigger the upward motion needed to initiate thunderstorm advancement. According to the national Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), understanding these factors is crucial for predicting and preparing for severe weather events.
