Predicting hailstorms and their severity remains a challenge for meteorologists. That’s why a groundbreaking ...

“It's really about communication with the insureds about mitigating hail risk,” added Wood. “Protecting your windows [for ...

In today’s episode of In The Clouds, we will dive deeper into the world of hail! So what is hail? Hail is a type of precipitation, like rain, snow, and sleet. In this form, it’s a solid chunk of ice ...

While most development occurs in a "sweet spot" between -10°C and -30°C where supercooled water is abundant, the study revealed hail embryos form across a surprisingly wide temperature range ...

A correlation exists between a thunderstorm's updraft speeds and the size of hail it can produce. For example, non-severe hail up to nickel size will require updraft speeds less than 47 mph. For ...

Although unlocking the secret of hailstone formation could help protect people in the path of dangerous storms, it helps to be able to identify that a storm is coming in the first place.

The Iberian Peninsula bids farewell to extreme heat with a period marked by instability. The polar jet stream, that powerful ...

HAIL FORMATION - Hailstones form in thunderstorms when the updraft lofts water droplets into the sub-freezing higher levels of the atmosphere where the droplets freeze.

Powerful thunderstorms will roll through southern Colorado today. These storms will be isolated - so it will be feast or famine. Storms will begin over the Palmer Divide, progressing southeast.

The findings, published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, challenge long-held assumptions about hail formation and could lead to improved severe weather prediction.
