With a high pressure above the water and a lower pressure above the land, conditions are perfect for a small breeze to develop. Wind blows from the sea towards the land along the pressure gradient in an attempt to equalize pressure. This is known as a sea breeze. In the night, land cools down much quicker than does the waters of the ocean. As the land becomes cooler, so does the air above it. This results in air becoming more dense, forming a high pressure, causing winds to blow outward towards the sea. This is known as a land breeze.
This lifting mechanism can be a cold front, winds from another nearby thunderstorm, or even a cooler breeze off the nearby sea, known as a sea breeze boundary. The sea breeze is the most common way thunderstorms get their start during the summer months in Florida. The lifting mechanism acts much like a large plow or shovel that forces the air upwards. Once the lift gets the air to move upwards, then the instability in the atmosphere accelerates the air upwards.
