Hail is possible within most thunderstorms (as it is produced by cumulonimbus), [4] as well as within 2 nmi (3.7 km) of the parent storm. Hail formation requires environments of strong, upward motion of air within the parent thunderstorm (similar to tornadoes) and lowered heights of the freezing level.
Such storms are rarely severe and are a result of local atmospheric instability; hence the term "air mass thunderstorm". When such storms have a brief period of severe weather associated with them, it is known as a pulse severe storm. Pulse severe storms are poorly organized and occur randomly in time and space, making them difficult to forecast.
A storm seen at the Baltic Sea near the island of Öland, Sweden.. A storm is any disturbed state of the natural environment or the atmosphere of an astronomical body. [citation needed] It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain ...

March 2010 Victoria storms; October 2010 Arizona tornado outbreak and hailstorm; 2012 Hawaii hailstorm; 2014 Brisbane hailstorm; 2019 Timaru hailstorm
Later at night, these storms formed into an intense squall line that slid through much of Oklahoma, bringing large hail and destructive winds along with it.
Many of these storms formed on the heels of a heat dome or persistent area of high pressure in the Rockies, with powerful storms with damaging winds, hail, flash flooding and lightning in states ...
A hail cannon is a shock wave generator claimed to disrupt the formation of hailstones in the atmosphere. These devices frequently engender conflict between farmers and neighbors when used, [ 1 ] because they are loudly and repeatedly fired every 1 to 10 seconds while a storm is approaching and until it has passed through the area, yet there is ...
