The latest LAPS sounding shows a modestly unstable environment in place, with deep moisture above 750 millibars (about 7,800 feet). The freezing level is very low -- only 6,200 feet, and thats why were seeing some weak storms produce small hail. Such pinhead storms normally wouldnt cause any trouble, but the extremely low freezing level means nearly all the atmospheric moisture exists as either ice or super-cooled water droplets, so were having to watch for small hail-producers this afternoon. #tnwx (MAR)
