Difference between scattered thunderstorms, isolated thunder strms..?

Question

whats the difference?

Answer 1

Well it's kinda technical, scattered are scattered and isolated are isolated. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Scattered is when it could storm throughout the day, different storms, different times of the day. Isolated is a storm going through one small area.

Answer 3

Isolated is just when there is no organization to storm complex.  Storms just pop up out of what, it seems like, nowhere.

Scattered tstorms are usually in a line but there are breaks in that line and not all places that it looks like the storm will hit will actually get hit.

Answer 4

scattered refers to several, isolated would be one.  Doesn't matter, whatever the weather says it it really just an educated guess.

Answer 5

Isolated storms are confined to that particulier area.Scattered storms are distributed periodically throughout the day.

Answer 6

A scattered thunderstorm is a thunderstorm that's scattered across the area in different locations, as if it was a bag of marbles thrown over a map. An isolated thunderstorm is one that's contained in one area, as if the marbles were caught in a jar.
