A complex storm system took shape at the end of December and brought a round of elevated hail storms to the region. The hail storms occurred as a warm front and deeper moisture surged northward during the early morning hours, generally between 1 and 6 am and were scattered about the forecast area. The hail stones ranged between penny and quarter size and caused little to no damage.
