Event narrative
A public report of 1.25 inch hail.
Wider weather episode
A weak outflow boundary from morning storms helped trigger storm development. Enough CAPE and shear (3000 j/kg and 40 kts) were present to support strong supercellular development. These supercells were prolific hailers and two cells generated giant (3.5-4 inch) hail.
