Afternoon thunderstorms reached strong to severe levels as they approached the frontal boundary, producing 1-inch diameter hail and damaging winds (SPC Storm Reports).
1-minute GOES-16 Visible images with overlays of the 5-minute GOES-16 Fog Depth product (below) provided an estimate of the fog/stratus deck thickness, helping to highlight which portions might be slower to dissipate.
