Schematic diagram demonstrating the development of MCSs. Sea breeze on the western coast supplied the abundant moisture that developed MCS-1 in the basin. The precipitating downdrafts of MCS-1 formed cold pools that contributed to its upscale growth. The interaction of the southeasterly winds and Mount Apo terrain developed MCS-2, and its precipitating downdrafts formed a cold pool that assisted its maintenance and growth
