Storm of the Month

Our JANUARY WINNER occurred about 122 miles southeast of the radar when baseball
size hail fell in parts of Harrison County. The 4-Panel image below reflects
one of several volume scans where the VILs exceeded 60 kg/m*m and for cold
season convection, these are incredible! The elevation of the
50dBz core was more like a late-spring thunderstorm with tops to 54,000 feet
and the damage to a radio station there was rather substantial. Normally,
we are concerned more with rotation in winter-time storms but the enormous size of this storm
left no one doubting it's severity as our Probability of Severe Hail Algorithm
hit 100% during four consecutive Volume Scans(about a 20 minute
time span).
