Cumulonimbus, which when tall usually form an anvil shape
Are there physical signs you might experience to warn that lightning might be about to strike?
Often you can feel the static building up or hear rock sizzling. RUN!Physical signs that lightning might strike here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers:As lightning results from discharge of a static electric charge, prior to a local discharge there is obviously a build up of static charge. I personally experienced the phenomenon of my hair standing on end while out surfing immediately prior to a lightning strike on an adjacent shoreline cliff top.You will also smell a slightly acrid ozone odor due to the ionized air that precedes a strike.You can monitor an AM radio frequency that is not in use. You will frequently hear lightning discharges as loud, fast cracks of static. However, if the static starts building up on your car, etc., you may hear the "zipper," where it sounds like something whining/zipping up. This is a common sound right before a lightning bolt strikes within a very close distance.
Can you have lightning without thunder?
Never. Thunder and lightning always come together. But you'd never know it. You always see the lightning before you hear the thunder. That's because light travels super fast, at 186,000 miles (300,000km) a second! Sound is much slower, at only about 1/5 mile (0.3km) a second. So first you see lightning, then you hear the thunder. Thunder is a result of Lightning. When hot air hits cold air it creates friction and that friction creates lightning. There is more to it than that, this is the quick version. Since light is the fastest speed you will hear the sound of thunder much later because sound is slower than light. Popular thinking will tell you that the time between lightning and thunder is the distance you are from the action. 1 second = 1 mile.

Is there going to be lightning today?
Definitely! Worldwide, there are as many as 44 lightning strikes per second, every second of every day. Whether or not you have lightning in your area depends on your local weather. If there is warm, moist air moving into a cooler region, thunderstorms can form, and some can be severe. Lightning only comes from cumulonimbus clouds, which typically rise several thousand feet into the air, and can produce heavy rains, damaging winds, hail, and even tornadoes.
What do you need to do during a lightning storm?
If you hear thunder or see lightning in the distance & you are outdoors, you should really move into a sturdy shelter ASAP. If no house or building is available, then you need to move quickly into a car. DO NOT stand under tree's or stand in an open field. Lightning is attracted by water, metal, and high objects. You should also lookout for dark, stormy clouds moving into the area because that is definitely a sign of an approaching storm. You should also turn on an AM/FM radio, NOAA Weather Radio, or your local TV news network for updates on your local weather. DO NOT take a bath or shower during a storm (Water attracts water, like I said above).
