They usually don’t drop big hail stones because the atmosphere above the ground has begun to warm up.
"This year we have a pretty strong jet stream overhead for this time of the year, and the air is colder aloft. And that’s helping to breed some of those hail storms that we had yesterday and we may see more of them today," Evan said.
