Using Hybrid Hydrometeor Classification to Warn on Large Hail

Forecasters monitored several multicell storms over the southern Blacksburg CWA. Conditions were not optimal, but a few reports of quarter to golf ball sized hail were received in the county adjacent to the extreme southwest portions of the CWA. The attached image shows a four panel of base reflectivity, MESH trails, and HHC, which indicated large and giant hail in several pixels.
