Abstract
On April 26, 2023, a severe thunderstorm hit the city of Melbourne in Brevard County, Florida. This thunderstorm produced lots of hail and coated the county and its surrounding areas with hailstones. This study analyzed the conditions of a severe thunderstorm that produced a significant amount of hail in an area of the country that does not often get impacted by hail episodes. The methodology used was reanalysis data from the ECMWF ERA5 Climate Data Store. Observational data was also used, which included Skew-T’s, surface maps, radar imagery, and photo evidence of the event.
