Hail occurs infrequently compared to other forms of precipitation, primarily during severe thunderstorms. It is most common in regions with warm, moist air and strong updrafts, such as the central United States, particularly in "Tornado Alley." The frequency of hail also varies by season, with spring and summer seeing the highest occurrences. Overall, while hail can happen anywhere, it is relatively rare on a broader scale.
Hail and tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but can occur with dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts.
Large hail refers to hailstones that are greater than 1 inch in diameter. These can cause significant damage to crops, vehicles, and buildings due to their size and weight. Large hail is often associated with severe thunderstorms.
Hail is typically associated with severe thunderstorms that have strong updrafts, which can carry raindrops high into the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. Hail often falls during intense storms that also produce heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning.
Hail Hail the Celts Are Here was created in 1961.
Yes. In fact when this occurs the falling hail explodes into snow flakes near the surface. Similar to an asteroid breaking apart as it enters the atmosphere. Not all hail "explodes" therefore you get snow and hail mix. Another popular term for this meteorological phenomena is "Bursting snow." This is common in Northeast United States and Chile.

No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
Yes, hail falls in Maryland, but not as often as in Oklahoma.
Tornadoes are often but not always accompanied by hail. However, the hail is not a result of the tornado itself but the storm that produces the tornado.
Yes. Tornadoes a very often accompanied by large hail.
It can. Hail often does come before a tornado, but most storms that produce hail do not produce tornadoes.
Often, but not always.
Hail can only help create rivers. It doesn't hail as often as it rains or snows, which comprises the majority of the water that flows to form rivers. However, when it does hail, the hail will melt and join the downward flow of water that creates rivers.
A blizzard means snow coming down at a rapid rate accompanied by high wind. Hail would not be a normal feature of a blizzard. The phrase 'a blizzard of hail' does not refer to an actual blizzard, but instead a hailstorm accompanied by high wind.
A thunderstorm. A thunderstorm produces thunder and lightning, rain, and not very often but hail as well.
Hail and tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but can occur with dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts.
Yes, tornadoes and hail can occur together during severe thunderstorms. The strong updrafts and turbulent conditions within a thunderstorm can create hail, while the rotating updraft required for a tornado can also contribute to hail formation.
The Chuck Berry song with the lyric "Hail, hail rock and roll" is titled "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll." Released in 1958, the song celebrates the genre of rock and roll and is one of Berry's iconic tracks. It reflects his influence on the music scene and is often recognized for its energetic rhythm and catchy lyrics.
