Question
which type of precipitation is most likely to form during a thunderstorm?
○ sleet
○ hail
○ snow
○ freezing rain
Thunderstorms are associated with strong updrafts in the atmosphere. Hail forms when there are strong updrafts that carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze and accumulate layers of ice. Sleet is partially melted snow that refreezes, snow forms in cold - temperature conditions without the strong updrafts typical of thunderstorms, and freezing rain is rain that freezes upon contact with the ground. Thunderstorms have the necessary conditions (strong updrafts) for hail formation.
