Hail in Jones County, Iowa

Quarter size hail, with also a large accumulation of small hail.

During the afternoon and evening hours of May 27th, a few severe storms moved through Iowa, Illinois, and northeast Missouri. While there were not many storms, they remained strong to severe for most of the entire path through the area, producing large hail reports for the most part, along with some damaging winds, and one isolated EF0 tornado. Most notably, these storms produced significant swaths of small hail, accumulating deep enough to affect roads and leave piles near homes that lasted hours. Some areas of crops were damaged by the small hail and large hail.
