Hail and its relation to heat and spring weather
Hail forms most in hot humid weather during intense thunderstorms and not in winter. When convection is strongest, updrafts carry raindrops upward into freezing zones, creating layered ice as hail stones grow and fall. Rarely do large stones cause major damage, but they can ruin crops, structures, and even cattle, as noted with examples like Annapolis in 1915. Tomorrow: The Terrible Tornado.
