2  The type of front that you would see with a thunderstorm is a cold front because when a cold front occurs a mass of cold air plows into a mass of warm air. Because the cold air is denser it forces the air upward.as the air rises it expands and cools. This causes the moisture in the warm air to condense and release large amounts of energy and power that is able to power a thunderstorm.

3  Winds are 93 kilometers an hour  cold fronts are usually before thunderstorms  The type of precipitation you get from thunderstorms is rain or hail.  instability through a reasonable depth of the atmosphere ;very approximately at least 3000m/250hpa  There must be enough humidity in the air to sustain/feed deep convection through a reasonable depth at least 100hpa above freezing level.

4 Advection of warm humid air at low levels greatly helps thunderstorms development Cloud tops reaching to a level where temperatures is at least minus 18 degrees Celsius but… a large amount of energy available to be released(CAPE) if the CAPE is large then the cloud top temp can be as warm as minus 15 and thunder will occur. but you need something to kick it of like a trigger

5  like differential surface heating, orographic ascent, frontal ascent, mass convergence,  the temp of thunderstorms is about 10-15 degrees Celsius

6 Barometric pressure is measured on a scale like this this gives you the most accurate reading for barometric pressure.

9  Hail nets to 1inch in diameter  a thunderstorm can occur from any type of storm cell  the rain fall rate is greater than 50 millimeters/2inchs in one hour   the type of cloud that you will see with a thunderstorm is cumulonimbus
