So far the hail in Walker County doesn’t look to be ping pong ball sized, but there still looks to be plenty of it.

Yeah it was rather loud there for a few minutes. West of the largest hail core but a pretty good hail shower with some gusty wind. Very very vigorous storm

I’m in these in Jefferson County and it’s rough. The lightning is intense.

Had some pea size hail here in northern Jefferson county.

Hail is getting bigger here, too.

They need to expand the Jefferson County warning further south. The hail core is at straddling the edge of the warning.

They just did.

That’s some of the worst hail I’ve had in a long time. Most of it was pea sized, but some did get up to quarter-ish size from what I could tell. It was falling at a tremendous rate for about a minute.

My temperature has dropped to 57 degrees after that.

18z RAP showing extremely impressive low level lapse rates through the area, little surprise storms blew up so fast with hail. Good thing low level shear is really weak right now.

I thought we were going to get some of that, but the storm stayed south of us. Now I'm watching this storm in Northern Walker and wondering if it may track almost due east based on the polygon.

Yeah it looks like it’s almost turned from going northeast to going southeast. Weird.

Yeah, it has taken a weird storm motion. I was watching it here in Cullman.

Did y'all get a lot of wind in Northern Jefferson County? Wondering whether to take the 5 year-old grandkid to the center of the house (surrounded by trees).

RadarScope is showing 2.5” hail with the Walker County storm

This storm has basically changed directions. It’s weird.

It didn’t seem very bad, the hail and lightning were much more noticeable than the wind.

Sorry to interrupt the ongoing discussion but found this on the updated SPC LSRs from Wednesday:
So that highly suspicious reflectivity hook/couplet DID produce something despite the lack of an obvious TDS.
