April 7th, 2006
Severe Weather

Thunderstorms developed rapidly during the afternoon in warm unstable air on the south side of a cold front. Enhanced by a strong jet stream, many of the thunderstorms produced severe hail. Hail as large as tennis balls was observed, with numerous reports of penny sized or larger hail. In additon, the thunderstorms produced scattered wind damage. Intense rainfall also accompanied the thunderstorms. Since the thunderstorms were often training over the same locations, up to 3 inches of rain fell, which produced minor flooding in several locations.
