Air-Mass
Thunderstorm
Generally, a
thunderstorm not associated with a front or other type of
synoptic-scale forcing mechanism. Air mass thunderstorms typically
are associated with warm, humid air in the summer months; they
develop during the afternoon in response to insolation, and
dissipate rather quickly after sunset.
"We must inspire confidence in every traveler, every
time he or she steps onto an airplane. We are acting now and acting
together because safety is our highest priority."
