A supercell thunderstorm produced a swath of hail across portions northern Hutchinson County to the northeast of Pringle. Initially hail of quarter size fell just outside of Pringle but the hail increased in size as the supercell continued to move to the north and east. Measured hail increased to billiard ball and tennis ball size with the maximum observed hail size being three inches in diameter, or around the size of a large apple. Some of this hail was found by spotters after the storm had passed so there may have been some additional melting that occurred.
