Sometimes when I attack with Fists of Thunder I see a few forks of lightning shoot forward, even though neither my weapons nor the active or passive skills I'm using list anything like that in their skill description.
What makes this happen, and how can I control it?

I've been playing a monk and, though the in-game skill doesn't appear to have this text, both the official Battle.net builder and the Diablo 3 database contain the following description for Fists of Thunder:
It appears that the lightning animation is used to indicate the small AoE lightning damage and knockback in front of you on the third hit.
