What is high density altitude?

On a hot, muggy day, the air becomes "thinner" or less dense, and its density at a pilot's location is equivalent to a higher altitude in the standard atmosphere. Thus the term "high density altitude." Reduced power, thrust, lift, less responsive aircraft. https://www.weather.gov/zse/HighDensityAltitude

What is a moist unstable air mass?

An unstable air mass is characterized by warm moist air near the surface and cold dry air aloft. https://glenallenweather.com/alink/20thunder/ingredientsthunderstorms.pdf
