What the National Weather Service wrote

A member of the public called to inform us about hail damage to their pistachio crop. They estimated that the hail stone sizes were generally around 0.75-1.0 inch stones but that they also varied greatly in size as it fell. After the hail ended they went to check on their pistachio crop and found out that they lost all of it. These trees were about 30 years old and sustained damaged.

The wider storm

An unseasonably cold upper level low pressure system brought showers and thunderstorms to the Valley, which brought accumulating and damaging hail and a weak tornado to the Davis. High elevation snow was observed as well.

Began near Merritt (38.6275, -121.7841).
