When the surface is warmer and the air aloft is cooler, the rising air will continue to rise due to the decreased stability of the atmosphere. This condition is known as temperature inversion, where the temperature increases with altitude. As the warm air rises, it will continue to cool, reaching its dew point and forming clouds, ultimately leading to thunderstorms and other forms of severe weather.
