Source sentences:
text: Hailstones can be very large or very small, depending on how strong the updraft is: weaker hailstorms produce smaller hailstones than stronger hailstorms (such as supercells).
text: While the majority of thunderstorms contain at least some hail, many times it does not reach the ground because the hailstones are small and melt in the above-freezing layer in the lower atmosphere.
text: Hailstones can actually be very small and sometimes undetectable but they can be very large in size also and that does mean added weight.
text: When thunderstorm updraft speeds get pretty fast (greater than 35 meters per second) and hailstones are still fairly small, some hailstones can get ejected from the updraft, depriving them of further meaningful growth (because they're no longer suspended in the updraft).
