Both pressures create storms. The movement of air from high pressure to low pressure causes water to condense and form clouds. When the clouds become oversaturated they release water which falls to the ground as rain, snow, or hail. The lightning is caused when the different charges of the ground and cloud cause the electrons to move to equalize it. This electron movement is lightning. The high winds are from various processes including cold air being pulled down by precipitation (called a downburst or microburst), by pressure gradients around a mesocyclone (which causes a rear flank downdraft or RFD). Tornadoes are formed by the tightening and intensification of a mesocyclone.
The vast majority of storms, however, are associated with or are themselves low pressure systems.

What are 3 things that cause storms?
Temperature differences between air masses can create instability and lead to storm formation. Moisture in the atmosphere provides the necessary fuel for storms to develop. Changes in atmospheric pressure can trigger storm systems and influence their intensity.
When this heat and pressure escapes into the atmosphere what force is created?
When heat and pressure escape into the atmosphere, it can create wind as the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to try to equalize the pressure. This movement of air can generate forces such as gusts and storms.
What storm does not have a low pressure closure?
Wind storms, such as dust storms and thunderstorms, do not have a low-pressure center like cyclones or hurricanes. Instead, these storms are driven by the movement of air masses with different temperatures or moisture levels.
Is high pressure systems associated with storms and precipitation?
High pressure systems are generally associated with clear skies and calm weather conditions, as the air sinks and suppresses cloud formation. In contrast, low pressure systems are more often linked to stormy weather and precipitation, as the rising air can create instability and lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
What kind of pressure is associated with thunder storms?
Low pressure system, very low! Low pressure=air coming inward=lifting of air=bad weather/instability...
Do tornadoes create storms?
No. Storms and hurricanes can create tornados.
How do storms differ in low pressure and high pressure systems?
There are no storms in high pressure systems. That's where the clear skies are.
Do tsunamis create storms?
No.

What atmospheric conditions cause the thunder storm?
This doesn't just only apply to the thunderstorm, this applies to all storms: Most storms form in some sort of low pressure area. Of course, there is the fact that some storms are lake-effect, which means that they don't require low pressure areas, however low pressure can strengthen these storms.
Is high pressure systems associated with storms and precipitation?
High pressure systems are generally associated with clear skies and calm weather conditions, as the air sinks and suppresses cloud formation. In contrast, low pressure systems are more often linked to stormy weather and precipitation, as the rising air can create instability and lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
What is measured by using a barometer?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, which is the weight of the air above a certain point on Earth's surface. This measurement helps in predicting changes in weather conditions, such as the likelihood of rain or storms.
What kind of pressure is associated with thunder storms?
Low pressure system, very low! Low pressure=air coming inward=lifting of air=bad weather/instability...
What type of air pressure does a hurricanre have?
Hurricanes, like other storms, produce low pressure.
What is the word at the low pressure end of the dial on a barometer?
storms
