Fort Worth's hail season peaks between April and June, with May typically producing the largest hail diameters. Secondary activity occurs in March and July. This seasonal concentration reflects the atmospheric conditions that develop as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cold, dry air masses over the Texas plains during spring and early summer.
