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.
