Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Rarely chased, not usually tornadic, but the areas S to SW of San Antonio often produce 'gorilla hail' in this kind of situation. Not heavily populated, but if they hit Pearsall or Freer or Benavides or Uvalde or Alice and San Diego, the pictures make social media. A lot of the population in those small towns is in pre-manufactured housing susceptible to large hail. Looking at models when isolated storms might be developing around sunset. 3 km WBZ, 7 to 8C/Km lapse rates just above the surface, 2500 MLCAPE and 50 knots shear. Something to watch. Below, 4.5 inch hail 2013 Benavides. The small towns are few and spread apart, there was a 4 inch hail event SE of San Antonio earlier this year that avoided the small towns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhirlingWx Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 A little storm along the cold front to my southwest might bring some hail my way if it keeps strengthening. My car is pretty exposed right now and I'm unable to do anything about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
