The type of precipitation that reaches Earth's surface as large pellets of ice is known as hail. Hail forms in strong thunderstorms with intense updrafts, where supercooled water droplets freeze and accumulate layers of ice as they are lifted and dropped multiple times within the storm. Once the hailstones become too heavy for the updrafts to support, they fall to the ground as pellets of ice.
