Best Answer

When the following three conditions are met cumulonimbus clouds will form:

A ready supply of warm, moist air, which can rise at speeds up to 70 miles per hour

Tropospheric winds need to increase considerably with height to encourage it to lean forward

The atmosphere around the cloud needs to be "unstable" i.e., no temperature inversion
