Does it hail in Alaska

Answer 1

The short answer would be yes.

Thunderstorms and Hurricanes can both produce hail in Florida. Yes, it does hail in Florida. Anywhere that has thunderstorms or severe storms with high winds reaching up 40 to 50 miles per hour, at least. They usually have thunder and lightening along with rain. When a storm has all the right factors, it can take rain and repeatedly drive it up into the upper levels of the storm, freezeing the rain over and over. Thus, creating the hail, when the winds can no longer hold the hail aloft they drop, thawing and freezing on the way down. Depending on the amount of rain, the size of the drops, and how many trips it made to the upper levels, that determines the size of the hail. It is also a good indicator of the intensity of the storm. This is just a bare bones outline of how hail is made, there is much more involved in it's making than just this.

It was very small, approx. 1/4 inch in size and only lasted 1 minute. It was 57 F most of the day and it melted almost instantly. The elevation at our home is 2400 feet.. Haleakala's Summit is 10,023 feet and has snow covering its peak on some rare occasions.
