Many of these storms exhibited well-defined overshooting tops; the largest hail was 4.0 inches in diameter at 0000 UTC. A comparison of SPC Storm Reports at the time of this large hail (and a nearby wind gust to 72 mph) — plotting the reports at the actual ground location vs a “parallax-corrected” location which shifted them northwestward — showed that the severe report locations closely corresponded to the overshooting top (below).
