A common first indicator of an approaching thunderstorm is a darkening sky or a shift in the color of the clouds to a dark gray or greenish color. Wind speeds may also increase, and you may notice distant rumbles of thunder or see lightning flashes in the distance.
A common indicator of an approaching thunderstorm is darkening skies, particularly if they quickly become significantly darker than the surrounding area. Thunderstorms are often accompanied by thickening clouds that can block sunlight, leading to a noticeable decrease in brightness. Additionally, a shift in wind direction and an increase in gustiness may also signal an approaching thunderstorm.
One indicator that a thunderstorm may produce a tornado is the presence of a rotating wall cloud. This is a large, lowering cloud that exhibits rotation at the base of a thunderstorm. When combined with other factors such as strong winds and changing weather conditions, it may increase the likelihood of tornado formation.
