Hail can occur during the mature stage of a thunderstorm. In this stage, strong updrafts and downdrafts coexist, allowing ice particles to be lifted high into the cloud where they grow larger before falling to the ground. The presence of supercooled water droplets in the cloud contributes to hail formation as they freeze onto the ice particles. Once the hailstones become too heavy for the updrafts to support, they fall to the ground.
the 2nd Stage!
Precipitation falls during the mature stage of a thunderstorm when the updraft and downdraft coexist, allowing rain, hail, or other forms of precipitation to reach the ground.
A thunderstorm typically goes through four stages: cumulus stage (initial development of updrafts), mature stage (strongest updrafts and downdrafts, heavy precipitation, lightning, and possibly hail), dissipating stage (weakening of updrafts and downdrafts), and the final stage (dissipation of the storm).
The second stage during a thunderstorm is the mature stage. During this stage, updrafts continue to strengthen, causing the storm to reach its peak intensity, with heavy rainfall, strong winds, hail, lightning, and thunder.
The mature stage produces heavy precipitation or hail, strong gusty winds, lightning, and possibly tornados or funnel clouds.

A thunderstorm is at its mature stage when heavy precipitation, strong winds, and lightning are occurring. This stage marks the height of the storm's strength and is often when severe weather, such as hail or tornadoes, may occur.

The most intense stage of a thunderstorm. It begins when precipitation reaches the ground and is characterized by both an updraft and a downdraft. This is the stage in which you can expect heavy rainfall, hail, lightning, and high wind speeds. This stage ends when there is no longer any updraft and the cloud begins to dissipate.
The mature stage produces heavy precipitation or hail, strong gusty winds, lightning, and possibly tornados or funnel clouds.
The most severe stage of a thunderstorm is typically the mature stage, when the storm is at its strongest and has the highest potential for severe weather such as large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. During this stage, the storm's updraft and downdraft are well-established, leading to intense precipitation and electric activity.
Large hail, flooding, straight line winds and tornadoes.
No, heavy rain does not usually occur until the mature stage.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
The cumulus stage of a thunderstorm is characterized by building cumulus clouds and updrafts of warm, moist air. While heavy rains can occur in the later stages of a thunderstorm, it is not typically associated with the cumulus stage. The heaviest rainfall usually occurs during the mature or dissipating stage of a thunderstorm.
