It is called a dry thunderstorm. A dry thunderstorm is a storm that produces little or no rain. While it may seem contradictory to have a thunderstorm with little rain, it is very common in the western United States where the heat index can be very high.

Although a dry thunderstorm is not the only cause to a massive wildfire, long-term drought combined with high spring and summer temperatures can make a lightning strike deadly. These fire weather conditions are the prime ingredients needed to fuel a fire that can rage on for long periods of time. Much of the reason a thunderstorm can be called dry is due to temperature and humidity below the clouds.It will rain, but the rain (and other forms of precipitation) never reaches the ground.

Rain that does not reach the ground is known as virga. Dry thunderstorms can be predicted well in advance of the storm leading officials to warn residents in an area of the possibilities of a wildfire. Incident meteorologists (IMETs) go onto full alert.

These specially trained meteorologists look for the fuels that will help a wildfire to spread. IMETs have training in microscale forecasting, fire behavior, and fire operations. They also act as managers who can help to coordinate control efforts.

With predictions of wind speed and direction, decisions are made on how to best control and contain wildfires. weather.about.com/od/typesofprecipitatio... htm.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
