Question

Which type of precipitation is most likely to form during a thunderstorm?

sleet
hail
snow
freezing rain

Answer 1

The type of precipitation most likely to form during a thunderstorm is **hail**. Thunderstorms often produce strong updrafts, which can carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze and then fall to the ground as hail. While sleet and freezing rain can occur in certain conditions, they are less common during typical thunderstorms. Snow is also unlikely in warm-season thunderstorms.
