Thunderstorms come in all varieties, shapes, sizes, and destruction. There isn't just one type of thunderstorm. I can't cover all the different types, but the 3 main types of thunderstorms are multi cell, single cell, and supercell. I will cover these 3 main cells of a thunderstorm and how they work, and how they're different from each other.
The first and smaller version of a thunderstorm would be considered a single celled storm. What is a single celled storm?, You may ask. Well a single celled storm or otherwise known as pulse storms, are small thunderstorms that are usually short lasting, times for an average single cell storm is about 20-30 minutes.There are 3 stages of a single celled storm. The first stage is the developing stage, …show more content…
A Multicelled thunderstorm is just a lot of single celled thunderstorms all together in one big line. All the different cells in a multi cell storm are at different stages of their life cycle that connect with one another to make a cluster of storms. Multi cell storms last longer than single celled storms by about double the time 30-60 minutes. As a multi cell is forming, new forming cells will start at the back of the cluster, with mature ones in the middle, and the weakening stage at the front. The weather that comes with these multi celled storms is more severe than a single cell storm, but not as much as a supercell. Small sized hail, flash floods and even weak tornadoes can occur. Multi celled storms form a line of storms another name for those line of storms is called a Squall line. These squall can potentially have very strong winds, There known to have gusts exceed 70 mph. Multi cell storms like to form in air that is moist and warm, ahead of the cold fronts. Multi celled storms are usually the most common storm that you see, but it isn't the worst storm you can …show more content…
Supercells are even more rare than a single celled storm, one can only start forming if the conditions are perfect. Every thunderstorm needs three different things to form, Moisture in the air, Instability, and lift. Supercells need all of those different factors and wind shears to start forming. The weather that is associated with supercells is mostly serve, With large hail and lots of rain falls; this is also where severe tornados come from. Supercells are not short lengthed storms, they can last for hours on end. There isn't just one supercell, there are 3 different types. A classic supercell, A low precipitation supercell and a high precipitation supercell. Supercells can form all over the world, even though they are rare the weather with them can be very
