What the National Weather Service wrote

The public submitted several pictures and reports of hail up to at least the size of quarters in and around Hartford City.

The wider storm

A low pressure system traversed the Northern Plains into the Great Lakes region pushing a warm front into Michigan allowing a cold front to sweep through the area. With the warm sector overhead, this allowed for optimal moisture. Storms developed across parts of the area, with a few producing damaging winds and large hail.

Began near Hartford City (40.4500, -85.3700).
