Does it hail in the morning?

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.

Does lightning come before hail?

In a typical thunderstorm, lightning occurs before hail. Lightning is the result of electrical charges building up in the storm cloud, while hail forms when water droplets freeze and are carried by strong updrafts within the cloud. So, lightning usually precedes hail in the sequence of events during a thunderstorm.


Will hail damaged trees come back?

Hail-damaged trees can often recover, depending on the severity of the damage and the tree species. If the tree's bark and cambium layer are intact, it has a better chance of healing. Proper care, such as adequate watering and pruning of damaged limbs, can aid recovery. However, severe damage may lead to long-term health issues or even death of the tree.


Does hail turns into snow?

Hail is frozen precipitation that forms in thunderstorms, while snow forms in colder clouds. Hail and snow are not the same; hail typically forms in warmer conditions than snow. Once hail falls to the ground, it remains as hail and does not turn into snow.
