The public reported golf ball size hail 4.2 miles south of Loyal Valley. The time was estimated by radar.

The wider storm

The combination of an upper level disturbance and a dryline resulted in scattered severe thunderstorms across much of west central Texas. Also, a few of the severe thunderstorms were supercells due to the moderate instability and strong vertical wind shear across the area. These severe storms produced large to very large hail.

Began near Loyal Vly (30.5200, -99.0100).
