Hail in Pierce County, Georgia
Hail September 11, 2023 · Pierce County, Georgia
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
The wider storm
A stalled front remains situated just to the northwest this morning with a light onshore flow near the surface while persistent southwesterly flow continues aloft. Cooler than normal mid-level temperatures created deeper instability that strengthened diurnally driven sea breeze storms as they develop along the east-coast sea breeze in the afternoon. Deeper moisture was across NE FL and portions of SE GA (generally south and east of Waycross) created more widespread storm coverage, especially along and west of the St Johns River basin as the sea breeze interacted with the river breeze.
Strong to marginally severe wind gusts of 40-60 mph occurred. Marginal deep layer shear was around 20 kts which create a lower end hail threat. Locally heavy rainfall occurred that created mainly nuisance minor flood issues.
Began near Blackshear (31.2900, -82.2300).
