Ice in the sky in August?
It is not uncommon for parts of
the Charlotte and Concord areas to endure intermittent hail storms that can
leave the landscape looking more like a winter wonderland than our normal baking-hot
summer. Hailstones form under very specific conditions and the temperature on
the ground nothing to do with their formation. Hail stones are formed in cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are
commonly linked to thunderstorms, and they rise in to great heights in the
atmosphere. They grow especially large during the summer because they are
formed by thermals as they clash with the super cold air of the upper
atmosphere.
Why hailstones do not melt
Hailstones are often driven by severe winds; hence, they fall too fast
to melt before they reach the earth. Some hailstones are of remarkable size, analogous
to a tennis ball or a baseball. But even pea sized hailstones can cause damage
to vehicles, crops, outdoor furniture, vinyl siding and roofing. It is
important to have your roof inspected by a Charlotte roofing company after any
hail storm to make sure that that there is no damage that can eventually lead
to a leaking roof.
