A forecast of "scattered" thunderstorms means that 20-50% of the forecast area is expected to receive measurable rain during the forecast period, while "isolated" means a 10% chance of measurable rain. You can see the lightning and hear the thunder over a much larger area, but the definitions are based on expected rain coverage. The intensity of the rain is not a factor except that it must be "measurable" (at least 0.01 inch).
