Q

On the Western Rivers, you should normally expect thunderstorms to be more violent under which of the following weather conditions?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Thunderstorm formation and the role of moisture and instability • How temperature and humidity affect rising air and thunderstorm strength • Typical conditions on U.S. Western Rivers in thunderstorm season

💭 Think About

• Which option provides the most energy and moisture for air to rise and form strong thunderstorms? • In which condition is air most likely to rise quickly, condense, and release large amounts of latent heat? • Think about when you usually see the biggest summer storms along inland rivers and lakes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are humid vs. dry and which are warm vs. cool/cold • Recall that strong thunderstorms need warm, moist, unstable air meeting cooler air aloft • Eliminate any options that lack both significant warmth and significant moisture
