1. Scattered are the one that Thor tosses out over the area.
Isolated are the ones that accidentally fall through the hole in his pocket.

2. "Scattered" means there are more storms around than "isolated" does
Really, forecasters mix and match the two words to make it sound like they know what they're talking about... ;)

"Google is your friend" but instead

Isolated means less than 30% chance rain. Scattered means 30% - 50% chance of rain.
