What the National Weather Service wrote

Half inch hail, 1 to 2 inches deep, covered area roads. This resulted in slick road conditions and did some minor damage to a mobile home carport, from the weight of the accumulated hail.

The wider storm

A weather system resulted in thunderstorms developing across the Southern Sacramento and Northern San Joaquin valley and adjacent foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The storms resulted in half inch hail deep enough to cause slick road conditions, and slight damage to a carport. Lightning struck a tree, causing a portion of it to split off. An EF0 tornado was also observed that uprooted a eucalyptus tree and moved a shed off it's foundation.

Began near Oakdale (37.8101, -120.8710).
