Multicell

A multicellular storm consists of an isolated group with two or more Cumulonimbus cells linked together at different stages of development. Its size can reach a diameter of 100 kilometers. The cells interact with each other in such a way that downward drafts of a dissipating cell can intensify upward drafts of a nearby cell.

Most isolated storms have more than one cell, that is, they are multicellular. Unlike a single cell storm, multicell storms can sometimes become severe storms.
