Footage of "hail fog" and significant hail accumulations along with powerful supercell thunderstorm near Tulia, TX.
Hail fog forms when several inches of hail accumulates causing the temperature near the ground to cool rapidly. This mixes with warm moist air above creating a shallow layer of dense fog.
A strange sight to find in the spring this far south looking like a winter scene.
