What the National Weather Service wrote

Received an MPING report of 1 inch hail.

The wider storm

The region was under the influence of northwest flow in the upper levels. More importantly, the mid levels cooled and low levels warmed quite a bit compared to previous days. That combination resulted in steep lapse rates, a very unstable mid level environment. This was especially so over coastal locations of the local area, multiple storms produced very large hail.

Began near (nbg)nas New Orleans (29.8200, -90.0100).
