SOME FACTS ABOUT HAIL

Hail usually occurs as a form of precipitation at the beginning of a thunderstorm. Consisting of near spherical pellets of ice, hail forms when raindrops pass through a belt of cold air on their way to the ground. When cumulonimbus or other convective clouds accompany a thunderstorm, the air turbulence created sets the stage for hail formation. Water that goes into hailstone formation is super-cooled water. The water is at a temperature below the freezing point but is still in liquid form. Hailstones fall to the earth when this super-cooled water becomes too heavy for air currents to support it.

Hailstones are not a single drop of rain, but are formed as these almost-frozen pieces of water collide with one another on their way to the ground. Thus, the size of a particular hailstone increases as it travels downward. Ranging in sizes from pieces with a diameter of 5 millimeters to 13 centimeters, and weighing up to 450 grams, hailstones can do a lot of damage to vehicles, roofs, and other exposed outside structures on their way to the earth.

A hail storm generally lasts about fifteen minutes and usually occurs during mid to late afternoon. Atlanta, being a mid-latitude location, is situated in just the right place for conditions to be good for hail storms to occur. Consequently, the destruction and damage caused by hailstorms in the Atlanta area is significant.
