Close, but I don't know of a literal translation. I'd go with "Tormenta eléctrica".

Re: Thunderstorm translation

You're right. "Tronada" is a perfect translation (It will be added to the DRAE next edition, 23rd). But I have to say I've never heard or used it.

Re: Thunderstorm translation

I also never heard it. For me "tronada" es una persona loca :-) .
For me "Tormenta eléctrica" o "tormenta con aparato eléctrico" are more common to hear
Between kids "un tormentón" (a very big storm)
