How is thunderstorm weather formed?

On March 1 day, 2009, a large area in the eastern United States was hit by a snowstorm in late winter. The snowstorm was violent and the thunder was deafening, and the local residents were troubled by the cold and loud thunder. It's strange, isn't thunder only in summer?

Patrick Ku, a meteorologist at Columbia College of Mislin University, USA? Marquette expounded the principle of thunderstorm: the principle of thunderstorm is the same as that of thunderstorm in summer. If the sun shines on the ground and warm and humid air rises, the atmospheric environment will become unstable. As the air rises, water vapor condenses to produce cloud gas. Due to the chaos of internal airflow, clouds and gases collide violently. This unstable atmospheric environment in winter is an important prerequisite for thunderstorms.

Because of thunder and snow, the atmospheric temperature near the surface is higher than that above, and it can only snow if the temperature is low enough. This is a very delicate situation. For example, the thunderstorm weather in the southern United States, because the atmosphere became unstable, Lei Yun phenomenon first appeared. As it moves northward, the atmospheric temperature drops below 0 degrees, which is the phenomenon of lightning and snow.

Snowy weather is accompanied by thunder, which is a rare weather phenomenon This strange weather phenomenon appears over Georgia and South Carolina in the United States. Although it is somewhat different from the season in Japan, such strange weather is also found in Japan.

Experts point out that lightning, thunder and snowstorms often occur in the late winter to early spring in the United States. During this period, the cold air mass meets the warm and humid air near the ground, forming the conditions of "thunderstorm" weather.
