11.8 NOTES What causes local winds?
... Winds are produced by temperature differences caused by the unequal heating of Earth’s surface. Local winds are small-scale winds produced by local changes in air pressure. A breeze coming from the sea toward land is called a sea breeze. A breeze going from the land to the sea is a land breeze. Land ...

Atmospheric convection
Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
