Best Answer

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.
