Hail forms when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high enough into the atmosphere where they freeze into ice. As the frozen raindrops are carried up and down within the storm clouds by turbulent winds, they accumulate more layers of ice, eventually forming hailstones. The hailstones grow larger as they cycle through the updrafts and downdrafts until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground.
