@NWSBoulder<\/a> @NWSGoodland<\/a> I am verifying what looks to be a record setting hailstone for #cowx<\/a> Am told this fell near Bethune this afternoon. Would easily beat the 4.5″ record… Given the way the radar looked, I wouldn’t be surprised. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com\/LiUazILn6r<\/a><\/p>\n
