A thunderstorm produced ping pong ball size hail northeast of Fredericksburg.

The wider storm

An upper-level shortwave trough moved across a cold front over South-Central Texas and generated thunderstorms. The warm, moist airmass had steep mid-level lapse rates, and some of the storms produced large hail. There were also a few reports of damaging wind gusts and heavy rain that led to flash flooding.

Began near Fredericksburg (30.3200, -98.8500).
