An outbreak of severe thunderstorms occurred on May 18th, 1997 across our County Warning Area (CWA). Large hail up to 4.5" in diameter was reported with numerous reports of 1.75" inch hail. Some brief tornadoes also occurred. Below, you will see the satellite picture and a surface analysis overlaid at about the time a tornado was reported. We also had a Tornado Vortex Signature (TVS).
