Episode Narrative Scattered thunderstorms spread eastward from a strong mesoscale system over Kentucky and Tennessee in the early evening and continued for several hours. With moderate instability and sufficient vertical wind shear a few storms became intense enough to produce mainly large hail, but also some winds up to 60 mph. The largest hailstones were about golf-ball size. A few storms also produced heavy rainfall, especially over parts of Montgomery, Giles, Wythe and Bedford counties. Radar estimated amounts were 2 to 4 inches in several hours but the highest rain gage totals were at Radford Coop 1.83���, Spruce Run IFLOWS 1.72���, Blacksburg 0.4N CCR 1.62���, Abbott IFLOWS 1.47���.
