a. The map above shows the average number of thunderstorm days each year throughout the U.S. The most frequent occurrence is in the southeastern states, with Florida having the highest number of 'thunder' days (80 to 100+ days per year). Thinking about the requirements for TS formation, why do you think Florida has the most TS? b. What do you think is the lifting mechanism for TS over Florida? c. Why so many TS over Colorado and New Mexico? d. Why so few TS over the western states?
