Orographic lifting occurs when an air mass is forced to rise over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. The rising air mass expands and cools, with water condensing and forming droplets as the temperature drops below the dew point.

∙ 7y agoThere are two main ingredients needed for thunderstorms: instability and lift. The lift is something that nudges unstable air near the ground upward to trigger storms. Orographic thunderstorms occur when that lift comes from wind blowing over hills or mountains.
