Spring can bring together all the ingredients for a perfect storm, creating lightning and hailstones. But how do these storms turn into such dangerous events?
A chance of rain can also mean a chance for hail, but additional ingredients are needed.
"If you have flat clouds, you know, they're not the vertically challenge or flat. You're not going to see a good potential for hail or a good chance for hail," Zack explains. "But when you see those clouds building up and they grow taller and taller, they're going to a spot where it's freezing." "So when the raindrops get caught up in that updraft, and they go way up in the atmosphere, they start to freeze, OK? They get super cool, and then they start to form a little ice pellet. OK? And then they start to fall again, and they'll start to gather more and more water. So it's a cycle that super cool droplet keeps going up and down, up and down. Then eventually it turns into a hailstone and keeps going up and down, up and down," Zack said.
