They develop from congestus, and can form mammatus clouds at their base in the presence of strong updrafts.
These formations are associated with ascending part of a Hadley cell and the boundary of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. They develop from congestus, and can form mammatus clouds at their base in the presence of strong updrafts. An overshooting top will appear when these reach the tropopause, giving them their classic anvil structure.
