Shattered windshields - radar avoidance?

Can hail be detected by radar?

I've just been reading this Telegraph article about flight CZ3483, and the pilots being forced to use instruments, and looked up previous incidents. I know planes try to avoid rain storms, so I'm wondering if hailstorms can be similarly avoided?
