Can definitely verify the hail here. Warning justified. Winds to 50 mph. Temp dropping.

Major hail action lol Wow... Can hear it pinging the back door.

66 / 55 0.19" and climbing so far. Still getting some hail too. Sheesh! What a storm to kick off our 2023 storm season!

@Les the storm that moved through your area continues to strengthen. Hail core increasing. Surprised it doesn’t have a warning yet.

Glad you scored Les!

Hail finally stopped, still raining. 65 / 55 0.24" rain --- Still getting thunder and lightning.

Metro getting pounded right now.

Trev, that surface low of 1004 MB came right over us to ignite these storms. Gave the front a little kick! That was the difference maker with this one. Otherwise dry air would have won out. CAPE was there but low. Steep lapse rates are always good potential hail indicators and we had that big time!

Thank you Bro! On to Friday... then lemme have some fun post 3/10 ok? Just one time, just one time! I guess this post should be geared more towards Trev!

Was on the northern edge and got 0.05”. Quite a bit of lightning and thunder earlier.

Today's Snow Weenie weather model of the day is the Euro Control run from 12Z.


Gulf low or bust???

No wind but a good deal of hail, mostly dime sized here in Fairfield near Mercy Hospital. Came down for 5-10 minutes.

You're welcome bro! Yes, I can accommodate that!

Thanks Eric! Love the hail pics guys! Thanks for sharing.

Pea size hail here in Lebanon. Not as loud as the quarters the other day but still fun!

I believe that more the gfs fantasy runs we see all the time

What a nice light show this evening. I thought hail was coming down the way it sounded but it just really heavy rain for about 2 minutes. Rain starting again and this should be the last hurray for at least 24 hours.
