Quarter size hail was observed in Sandgap.
The wider storm
A low pressure system and frontal boundary were slowly sinking southward into the Commonwealth during the overnight hours from May 8th through May 9th. A line of storms had dropped southward of the frontal boundary, creating an outflow boundary pushing southeast. The frontal boundary eventually sped up some in the morning of the 9th and throughout the day, but during the overnight hours, the showers and storms that developed were moving more parellel to the outflow boundary, and led to some locations seeing training storms and very heavy rainrates. This resulted in several instances of flash flooding. Some of these storms were also quite strong, and resulted in a report of severe hail in Jackson county as it moved through.
Began near Sandgap (37.4800, -84.0800).
