Tornadoes

[Duchess]

How do you go from hot weather to softball sized hail to tornadoes?

I've never seen hail that big, only golf ball size and smaller. It usually comes after days of very hot, very humid weather and a cold front is moving in. I have rarely experienced a normal thunderstorm here, they usually morph into watches/warnings. Once it starts moving in I watch the temperature, if I could will it to lower I would, the more it goes down the more it lessens my chance for severe weather. I've seen it drop 20 degrees in a matter of minutes.. I know this isn't scientific but it is my experience.

I've had tornadoes go by & hurricanes too but the worse by far were the straight line winds.
