Yes.
Unstable air and moisture.
* Rising Unstable air * moisture * Air cools with an increasing altitude
A thunderstorm requires a mass of unstable air, created locally by heating or as the result of adjacent air masses having different temperatures.
Yes.Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising/unstable air, and a lifting mechanism to force this rising air higher and faster. Moisture and unstable air together is typically called humid air.
unstable, moist air.

Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising unstable air (air that keeps rising when given a nudge), and a lifting mechanism to provide the "nudge."

The warm air mass is generally warmest, and thus most unstable, just ahead of the cold front.
The opportunity for warm, sticky air is also more likely, but warm air alone cannot trigger thunderstorms.Thunderstorms need an unstable environment and enough moisture to make tall, large clouds and the cumulonimbus cloud that defines a thunderstorm.
