Describe the effects of temperature on weather formations.

Description should include the following concepts:

For a thunderstorm to form, the air must have sufficient water vapor, an unstable lapse rate, and an initial lifting action.
Some storms occur at random in unstable air, last for only an hour or two, and produce only moderate wind gusts and rainfall. These are known as air mass thunderstorms and are generally a result of surface heating.
