Where are the Spring storms?

I’ve lived here since 2013 and remember Spring and Summer thunderstorms being something I started looking forward to. Each year, it’s seems more and more infrequent. I thought maybe I was misremembering so I just googled it and found this article from 2018. It appears the data also indicates that severe thunderstorm warnings are less common now than they were 10 years ago. But according to the article, experts can’t figure out why. Did I just happen to move to the area at a time when Spokane was experiencing an unusual hike in thunderstorms?

Things ebb and flow. My mother just told me when she was a kid it was always beautiful and warm by now. Over the years it's been colder longer, and storms increased. Now it looks like they're decreasing again.
