Question

Why does it hail when a tornado is present?

Answer 1

Hail forms when tiny clumps of ice, kept aloft by strong updrafts, get blown through freezing thunderclouds until they are heavy enough to fall to earth. Most large thunderstorms create some hail, but conditions must be met if the hailstones are to grow large, freeze solid, and survive until they reach the ground. Ideal conditions for hail are tall clouds that reach high into the atmosphere, many swirling updrafts such as in a tornado, and cold temperatures within and beneath the storm.

Answer 2

In a severe storm large hail often appears near the area within a thunderstorm where tornadoes are most likely to form.

BUT not every storm that produces a tornado produces hail and not every storm that produces hail will produce a tornado.

Answer 3

Hail is a sign of a strong storm .
