· 1.0″ (quarter)
A spotter SO47, located on highway 113 north of Davis, reported one inch hail stones.
· 1.0″ (quarter)
A member of the public called to inform us about hail damage to their pistachio crop. They estimated that the hail stone sizes were generally around 0.75-1.0 inch stones but that they also varied greatly in size as it fell. After the hail ended they went to check on their pistachio crop and found out that they lost all of it. These trees were about 30 years old and sustained damaged.
