Revealing the connection between storms and hail

A house in Charlotte repaired from hail storm damage
Countless dollars of damage each year
Hail storms are a source for millions of dollars in damage in the Charlotte area and will cost businesses and homeowners all over the U.S. more than a billion per year. In the majority of the United States, hail storms are a rarity, but dismissing the possibility in the Charlotte area is unadvisable because hail storms here are so closely connected to thunderstorms.

The size of hailstones is not the only rationale for a meteorologist to issue a severe storm notice. At any time it is determined that there will be at least 58 mph winds, chances are enormous that there will be some significant damage regardless of the size of the hail. Not all thunderstorms produce hail, but as long as there is a combination of warm and cold air in the thunderstorm clouds, there is a possibility that hail stones will be formed. The newly-developed hailstones can go through a warm downdraft, which would cause it to melt before it hits the ground, but this is a rare occurrence in hail storms.
