Storms in the MRF CWA show decent cores around the freezing level but struggled to get anything into the hail growth zone. MESH was monitored to any intensification. Interesting report came in from EKA office, maybe 50-75 miles south of the MFR CWA of penny hail, shown below.
- Penny Hail Report Peanut, CA
An attempt was made using MESH and All Tilts to figure out what led to this report. MESH didn’t show much, neither did All Tilts. Both teams were unable to discern for sure if beam blockage played a large role in how paltry the storm in the area of the report looked.
