May 6, 2003: Convective Cells w/ Hail Signatures Author: Pam Heinselman, CIMMS/OU Last Updated: 7 May 2003

Forecast/Weather:

On 6 May 2003, convective cells developed along the dry line as it moved toward eastern Oklahoma. Polarimetric signatures indicated hail within some of these cells (see Figs. 1-4 for an example).
