   Aug 27, 2024 · All thunderstorms need the same ingredients: moisture, unstable air and lift. Moisture usually comes from oceans. Unstable air forms when warm, moist air is near the ground and cold, dry air is above. Lift comes from differences in air density. It pushes unstable air upward, creating a tall thunderstorm cloud.

   How does Lightning form?

   • Lightning comes from electrical charges that build up within a storm cloud. Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises high into the atmosphere. This rising air is called an updraft. As air rises in the atmosphere, clouds form when water vapor in the air cools into water drops, called cloud droplets. Some cloud droplets freeze into ice crystals.

   What causes a thunderstorm?

   • When air masses with different temperatures and moisture levels converge, they can create upward motion and trigger thunderstorms. A thunderstorm begins as a cumulus cloud. Rising warm, moist air cools and condenses, forming towering cumulus clouds. These clouds appear puffy and white and are sometimes called "cauliflower clouds."
