Thunderstorms can occur in Seattle, but they are rather rare. Thunderstorms require an unstable atmosphere in order to form, which means the air is warm and moist in the lower levels and much colder in the upper levels. The ocean water off the coast of Washington is cold and so cools the lower atmosphere, keeping it stable and making it hard for thunderstorms to form.

Why does thunder usually appear during storms that have lightning?
Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to the intense heat. This expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. So, thunder is typically associated with storms that have lightning because the two phenomena occur simultaneously.
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.
What are T-storms?
T-storms, or thunderstorms, are weather phenomena characterized by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and strong winds. They are caused by the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air and are often associated with large cumulonimbus clouds. Thunderstorms can produce severe weather such as hail, tornadoes, and flash floods.
Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.
