A storm cell is an air mass that contains up and down drafts in convective loops and that moves and reacts as a single entity, functioning as the smallest unit of a storm-producing system.
Apr 26, 2008 · Storm Cell: Directed by Steven R. Monroe. With Mimi Rogers, Robert Moloney, Andrew Airlie, Ryan Kennedy. Storm chaser April, whose parents died in a twister during her childhood, must warn her brother and his unsespecting town of a massive storm heading their way before he meets the same fate.
Often called “popcorn” convection, single-cell thunderstorms are small, brief, weak storms that grow and die within an hour or so. They are typically driven by heating on a summer afternoon. Single-cell storms may produce brief heavy rain and lightning.
With an updraft, downdraft, and rain, the cloud is now called a cumulonimbus cloud and the cycling of air up and down is called a thunderstorm cell. The moving air within the cloud builds up electric charges as it slides past other air.

Thunderstorms can consist of just one convection cell, multiple convection cells, or even one extremely large and powerful convection cell. Below is a description of three types of thunderstorms, classified by their structure: single-cell, multi-cell, and supercell.
A thunderstorm may consist of just one ordinary cell that transitions through its life cycle and dissipates without additional new cell formation, but they often form in clusters, with numerous cells in various stages of development merging together.
