Air movement is strong enough due to massive pressure differences to lift a large piece of ice 60, 70, 80 thousand feet into the air before it gets so large it falls back down to earth. It’s incredible when you think about it. |

The strength of the updraft within a storm determines how large hailstones can grow and be lifted. Stronger updrafts (upward winds) are needed to lift larger hailstones. Specifically, winds of 64 mph can support a golf ball-sized hailstone, while grapefruit-sized hail requires updrafts near 100 mph. The updraft also plays a role in how long the hailstone stays in the freezing air, allowing it to accumulate more ice and grow large |

Softball-sized hail is no joke. We had some last year.
