Question

What are isolated thunderstorms?

Answer 1

thunderstorms that develop in isolation

Answer 2

I am sorry Esmeralda but you will most likely see isolated thunderstorms in places where local factors create isolated thunderstorms. That could be e.g. the coastal effect in a see breeze that ends up with local isolated thunderstorms when enough moist air from the sea has been warmed up by the land. Another possibility is the orographic effect of a montain. The air rising effect of the terrain will then be local and the resulting thunderstorms be isolated.

In a frontal structure, only the cold front is likely to form a belt of thunderstoms as the cold air coming from under is lifting the front. That will probably not be isolated but more consistent thunderstorms but ... "isolation" is a subjective word, isn't it? What is isolated for one weatherman may not be so for another.

Answer 3

The kind that just pop up because of weak frontal boundaries moving through instead of strong frontal systems colliding that bring more rain and stronger storms.

Answer 4

Isolated means they mostly singular in the area they are covering.
