NOTE: We've guessed that you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Hail
indicated by regions of very high reflectivity

This image shows some severe thunderstorm cells in western Illinois and eastern Missouri on April 19, 1996. The small regions of high reflectivity (shades of purple and gray) located near the edges of these storms are likely to be regions where large hail is falling. Typically, radar reflectivities associated with hail have values exceeding 60 dBZ.
