About this reader
This NGSS-aligned science reading passage for middle school explains that cumulonimbus clouds are the main cloud type responsible for hail. It describes how strong updrafts in these towering storm clouds carry water droplets high into the atmosphere, where they freeze and grow as hailstones. Once the hail becomes too heavy for the updrafts to hold, it falls to the ground. The passage also introduces other severe weather linked to cumulonimbus clouds, such as lightning and tornadoes, helping students understand how these clouds form and why they matter in weather forecasting and Earth science lessons.
