Case Study Page

Question 7. Examine the VIL product at 6:34 p.m. Where is the largest hail? Where is this relative to the reflectivity and velocity patterns observed during the same volume scan?
 




 
Answer. The largest hail is located over northeast Garfield county and northwest Noble county. It appears, when looking at the reflectivity pattern, that the hail is located just to the north of the hook echo on the southwest side of the storm. Also, from the velocity pattern, the hail is in both the inbound and outbound sides of the mesocyclone.
