I’m pretty excited about the 4 products displayed below. We have displayed below the 50 and 60 dbz echo top products as well as the height above -20C of the 50 and 60 dbz echo. These products allow for quick analysis and use of the Donovan method of determining hail size. Many offices in the central plains look closely at the heights of the 50 and 60 dbz echoes in warning decision making. Therefore, these tools are extremely beneficial for both initial warning decision making on whether to go with a warning or not. They also help to give confidence in increasing the projected hail size as these 50 and 60 dbz cores grow well above previously established basic severe level thresholds of the day.  The storm depicted in the image below had golf ball size hail reported with it.
