As a weather junkie one of the questions I often get asked is what is the difference between Scattered and Isolated thunderstorms. Though not obvious, there actually is a difference. First and foremost. Scattered vs isolated has NOTHING to do with the intensity or severity of the storms. Anytime thunderstorms are forecast for your area you should always pay more attention in case a severe threat exists. Basically, scattered vs isolated comes down to the coverage of the storms over the forecast area. Scattered thunderstorms mean, at any one given time at least 30-50% of the area could be affected by thunderstorms.

But there are ways to protect yourself.
