Grading the Storm Prediction Center – March 13, 2016

Grade: A+

LEGEND:

  • Brown = 5% probability of hail 1″ or larger within 25 miles of a point.
  • Yellow = 15% probability of hail 1″ or larger within 25 miles of a point.
  • Red = 30% probability of hail 1″ or larger within 25 miles of a point.
  • Black = 10% probability of hail 2″ or larger within 25 miles of a point.

BOOM!  The Storm Prediction Center gave us a bullseye, and they nailed it!  Lots of big hail, almost all of it in the 30% zone, with a couple of minor swaths in the 15% zone.  One late storm cross over into Mississippi, and a little bit of hail fell near Raleigh, NC, but those are just bonuses.  For those of us wanting some fresh hail, there wasn’t a huge populated area pounded…  But plenty of small towns & honey-holes out there with a fresh hail date.
