Pete notices that cumulus clouds look very much like the clouds he observed outside of the cave. He wonders whether these clouds will produce a thunderstorm. Looking at the weather map, will the current conditions produce a thunderstorm?

HINT: A thunderstorm needs moisture, instability, and lift.


A) No, thunderstorms are not likely in these conditions.

B) Yes, thunderstorms are likely in these conditions.
