Abstract
To determine those storms associated with the convective clouds is necessary a good knowledge of the vertical profile of the troposphere. To determine this parameter, it's essential to make the Skew-T diagrams. From these, we can extract useful information relating to the level of free convection (LFC), the equilibrium level (EL), and the maximum speed of the updraft. The parameter brought in the discussion is handy to hail's forecast. Therefore, based on this parameter, of the ascendant airflow flux, it can determine the dimension of the hail. Besides to determine the hail's sizes, from Skew-T diagram we can find other parameters, such as the Total Totals Index (TTI), this being useful to decide on the coverage rate of the storms, the K Index (KI) - helpful in the case of convections who occur in the same air-mass. The Skew-T diagrams are useful to determine the conductor flux's speed and direction; this is situated between 700 to 500 hPa geopotential heights. Noteworthy are the synoptically materials, by analyzing the way of disposing of the isobars who can be a good indicator of the severity of the storm. Also, the synoptically materials examine at the 500 hPa, 300 hPa, and 200 hPa geopotential to notice if occur the 'cut-off low' areas in the high troposphere. To see if a cloud system is dangerous of hail will be following the cloud's top temperature.
