Where warm, moist, unstable mT (maritime tropical) air seldom penetrates, you typically find drier, more stable air masses, such as cT (continental tropical) or mP (maritime polar) air. This can lead to arid or semi-arid climates, characterized by lower humidity and fewer precipitation events. Such regions often experience clear skies and higher temperature fluctuations between day and night. Examples include desert areas or the rain shadow effect on the leeward side of mountain ranges.
In order for thunderstorms to form the air must be unstable, which generally requires the air near the ground to be warm and moist. This warm, moist air provides the energy that powers thunderstorms. The warmer and more humid the air is, the more energy is available for thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, creating strong updrafts. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, forming cumulonimbus clouds. If the atmosphere is unstable and moist enough, these conditions can lead to the development of thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail.
Rain typically occurs when there are clouds in the sky, and the air is moist and unstable. This often happens in regions where warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to condensation and the formation of raindrops.
Conditions that favor the formation of supercells, the storms that produce most tornadoes include:Warm moist air in the lower troposphere.Cool air in the upper troposphere.A layer of warm air about a mile above the groundStrong wind shear, especially at lower levelsA source of weak to modest lift, usually from a cold front, dry line, or cyclone.Tornadoes, especially strong ones, are most likely to developif the relative humidity is high enough to produce a low cloud base.
A maritime tropical air mass would most likely be moist and warm, as it originates over warm ocean waters.

In order for thunderstorms to form the air must be unstable, which generally requires the air near the ground to be warm and moist. This warm, moist air provides the energy that powers thunderstorms. The warmer and more humid the air is, the more energy is available for thunderstorms.
A moist unstable air mass is typically warm and holds a high amount of moisture. It is associated with conditions that are favorable for thunderstorm development, due to its ability to rise quickly and form clouds with significant vertical development. This air mass is often characterized by convective activity and the potential for severe weather events, such as thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and sometimes tornadoes.

Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, creating strong updrafts. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, forming cumulonimbus clouds. If the atmosphere is unstable and moist enough, these conditions can lead to the development of thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail.
An mT air mass refers to a maritime tropical air mass, which originates over warm oceanic regions. It is characterized by its warm and moist properties, typically bringing humid and unstable weather conditions when it moves over land.
Maritime tropical air masses are warm and moist.

In a warm and moist place.
Water condenses out of warm moist air to form clouds when it hits cooler air.
