Once frozen it starts to fall but gets caught in another strong updraft where it gathers more moisture on its way back up making it larger. If the updrafts are strong enough they will continue this process for long periods of time allowing the hail to accumulate more moisture and more moisture. In a severe thunderstorm downdrafts may act like a wedge and increase the intensity of the updraft. Updrafts can get so strong they even intrude into the stable stratosphere. When updrafts are this strong it becomes possible to suspend large hail for long periods of time further adding moisture to the hail, sometimes building it to incredible sizes. Updraft winds can be from 100 to 120 miles per hour when producing Baseball and larger size hail.
The hailstone will keep rising in the thunderstorm until its mass can no longer be supported by the updraft. This may take at least 30 minutes based on the force of the updrafts in the hail-producing thunderstorm, whose top is usually greater than 10 km high. It then falls toward the ground while continuing to grow, based on the same processes, until it leaves the cloud. It will later begin to melt as it passes into air above freezing temperature

What happens to the barometric pressure in a hail storm?
In most storms, which always includes hail storms, the barometric pressure drops. Which the pressure drops, that would allow clouds to form. The more it drops, the more intense the storm can get.

How does hail form in a tornado storm?
Hail is formed when ice particles are carried up and down within the updraft of a strong thunderstorm. The pieces of ice pass between air that is above and below freezing multiple times. With each cycle a new layer of ice is added. The stronger the updraft the larger the hail can get before falling. Note the the storm simply needs to have as strong, turbulent updraft to produce hail and does not have to be tornadic.

When was the last hail storm in Austin?
In March 2009, a large hail storm struck north Austin, with stones as large as three inches. This storm was notable for the large area it covered, from the Four Points area on the west to Parmer Lane at the 45 Tollway on the east. Insurance companies rated it one of the most expensive hail storms on record. In 2008, a hail storm cut a narrow swath from Tarrytown to Hyde Park. This same storm also resulted in hail damage in Lost Creek and surrounding neighborhoods. This was an unusual storm in that it left some homes battered, while one block away there was no hail at all. In 2007, small hail storms hit parts of Circle C in south Austin, portions of Cedar Park and Leander, and neighborhoods in Round Rock. In 2006, parts of Leander, Pflugerville, and far north Austin were hit. In 2005, Northwest hills was pummeled by large hail. The five years prior to 2005 were pretty quiet, with only very isolated hail in and around Austin. I know all this because I own Premier Roofing.
When did Michigan's last hail storm occur?
Hail is common in Michigan as it is in many states, especially in the American Midwest. Asking this question during the summer, the default answer would be "no longer than a week ago, probably...". Additionally, Michigan is a very large area, and hail only occurs along a very narrow storm track (perhaps a few miles wide in most instances). So you need to be more specific in area, and also what you would define a "hail storm". Obviously large and excessive hail occurs less frequently than the benign pea size hail most commonly observed. You can find all hail reports of more than 1" in diameter at the link below (Storm Prediction Center) for any day going back a number of years. Just type the date in "past storm reports" and look for green or black markers over Michigan.
