How Thunderstorms Form

When disaster strikes, Call 704-939-1944

Thunderstorms typically form when warm, moist air collides with cold air. The warm air becomes cooler which then causes condensation and water droplets. The rising and falling of air creates a thunderstorm cell.  The moving air can then create electric charges that build up allowing lightening to form and spark.  Thunder is the sound that occurs with the lightening strike but sound travels slower than light.  

Thunderstorms can consist of one cell (Normal Thunderstorms), multi-cells (Squall lines) or Supercells which produce damaging hail, high winds and possible tornadoes.
