What atmospheric conditions are necessary for a multicell thunderstorm to form??
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: The cold downdraft of mature and dissipating thunderstorms, upon reaching the surface, may force warm, moist surface air upward along its advancing edge. This rising air then condenses and gradually builds into a new thunderstorm. This process may repeat over and over as old cells die out and new ones form. Thus, it is entirely possible for a series of thunderstorms to grow in a line, one next to the other, each in a different stage of development. Thunderstorms that form in this manner are termed multicell storms. Most ordinary thunderstorms are multicell storms, as are many severe thunderstorms.?
