T-Storm Warning Change...

It has been a hot topic for the past few years, that 3/4 inch diameter hail simply doesn't pose a damage threat. Simply put, the speed in which a hail stone that size falls to the ground, doesn't achieve a high enough speed to cause damage. However, a hail stone that is 1 inch in diameter will achieve a high enough speed to cause damage. So, the National Weather Service has bumped up the severe criteria for hail to 1 inch in diameter or larger. A good move, if you ask me. Trying to determine the difference between 3/4 inch and 1 inch diameter hail based on radar is pretty tough. It may cause a few less warnings to be issued, but we'll see.
