From page 86... ...
The liquid particles start to freeze when contacted by the ice particles, and the latter thereby grow; they descend to the ground when their fall speed exceeds the rising speed of the enveloping air current. The release of latent heat that attends freezing causes a rise of temperature toward 0°C; a growing hailstone thus tends to be somewhat warmer than its environment.
