Hail in Abilene on Wednesday, April 19, 2023
The Storm Prediction Center logged 10 hail reports in Abilene on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, between 8:11 pm and 10:03 pm CDT, in 2 of the metro's 3 counties. The largest was 2.75 inches at 4 NW Potosi (Taylor County) at 8:56 pm.
NOAA's radar hail archive holds no records at all for April 19, 2023 and April 20, 2023 (UTC), anywhere in the country, so radar figures for this date are missing. That is a gap in NOAA's processing, not a sign that radar saw no hail.

Spotter reports come from the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary daily logs, grouped here by local calendar date (Central Daylight Time) and by county: a report counts for Abilene when its coordinates fall inside one of the metro's 3 counties (Taylor, Jones and Callahan counties). Radar signatures are estimates from the Hail Detection Algorithm, not measured stones; they include every cell it rated, from a 10% to a 100% probability of hail. How these pages are built.
