How did the hail with this storm form? Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan explained on Channel 2 Action News This Morning starting at 4:30 a.m.
Monahan said it’s the combination of a low freezing level, fast-rising air in a thunderstorm, and supercooled (below freezing) water droplets in the storm allowed these hail stones to form.
