Question

Which are you more likely to get rain with, Isolated t-storms or scattered t-storms?

Answer 1

scattered.

Isolated is small storm cells that could pop up at some point, but might not.  Scattered means that there is a good chance there will be storms as there is a system moving through.

Answer 2

To sum it up. Scattered

Answer 3

Well, to answer your question from a Meteorological standpoint, you will NOT get rain from convective type of clouds, but will instead get rainshowers.  Although both are precipitation, they are quite different to the Meteorologist.  

To answer your question in lay-mans terms...

Few is generally considered 5% or less area coverage

Isolated less than 15% area coverage

Widely scattered 15-24% area coverage

Scattered 25-54% area coverage

Numerous 55% or greater area coverage

Widespread 55% or greater area coverage

Answer 4

Isolated is not about the size or probability of a thunderstorm.

Isolated and scattered are qualitative descriptions of areal distribution.

Once you have a thunderstorm, all things being equal, you will probably get a heavy shower and possibly hail, and all the rest.

From the point of view of isol or sct TS forecast in your area, more TS are expected with sct than isol, so you are more likely to get a shower if sct TS are forecast.

Answer 5

Whether it's scattered or isolated, it depends on intense the storm is, how long you are unders that storm and how slow or fast it is moving. These are just a few problem that occur during a thunderstorm.
