NMDA aids in detecting 1” hail :20 before occurrence

In the archived ILN event, a LSR of 1-inch hail piqued my interest and I wanted to see how the NMDA product handled it.  I used the ILN WSR-88D and the storm at that time was 66NM NW of the Radar. The NMDA product was consistent for the 20 minutes prior to the storm report and I would have felt confident using the product (along with interrogating other base products) to effectively warn/issue Severe TS for this storm.
