'''Hail''' is formed through a sort of [[roller coaster]] ride through intense [[thunderstorm]]s. Strong convection currents lift small [[ice]] pellets high into the middle and upper portions of a cumulonimbus [[cloud]]. This is where super-cooled [[water]] droplets collide and the ice pellet grows through a process called accretion. Once the pellet is too heavy for the updrafts to keep it within the cumulonimbus, it begins to fall, and if it does not melt completely before reaching ground level, it comes out as hail.  Hail can be classified into three stages of development, grauple, small hail, and hail stones.
