Thunderstorms form in Florida the same way that they form everywhere else in the world. See the answer for "How does a thunderstorm form?" in the links below.
Florida has a subtropical to tropical climate. This provides plenty of warm moist air to fuel thunderstorms. The geography of the area contributes as well. Sea breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean often converge over the Florida Peninsula during they day, sometime converging with lake breezes from Lake Okeechobee as well. This convergence forces air to rise, If the air is unstable enough it will lead to thunderstorms.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Stratus clouds are generally associated with stable atmospheric conditions, so they are less likely to produce thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are typically associated with cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall, dense clouds that form in unstable atmospheric conditions.
Yes, tornadoes are often associated with thunderstorms. Thunderstorms provide the necessary conditions for tornado formation, such as strong updrafts and wind shear. Tornadoes typically form within severe thunderstorms.
Yes, tornadoes typically form from severe thunderstorms known as supercells. These storms are characterized by rotating updrafts known as mesocyclones, which can produce the conditions necessary for tornado formation. However, not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
YES
Florida is positioned between the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. Both bring warm sea breezes onto the Florida Peninsula. These alone can trigger thunderstorms, but when they converge over central Florida, the warm, moist air can only go up, triggering large thunderstorms.
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.

depending on all the humidity in florida it usually leads to thunderstorms or rain storms. so, the answer is yes and no if you think hard on it
Thunderstorms form in the troposphere. The tops of strong thunderstorms may go into the stratosphere.
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
Yes. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. They cannot form without them.
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
No offense, but this is a stupid question. This is a stupid question because every year the thunderstorms in Florida occur at different times and they are never at the same time or lengths.
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
