Hail spike rain core. Since hail cores are most intense at higher elevations, hail spikes usually appear at the levels aloft that accompany the most intense hail. Because of this, hail spikes are usually not seen at lower elevations. Another restriction to detection is that the signal of the radar beam has to do multiple reflections, each time weakening it, and are therefore usually noticeable only in extremely large hailstone cases. In rare cases more than one hail spike has been documented with a single storm in one volume scan. This indicates that more than one hail core exists in the same
