Major hail Core as well. Multiple reports of 4 inch hail. If it holds together it may be a close call for Jonesboro.FAFFEE0E-3718-4F73-AFDA-ACC8B249358C.png
 
Also. I was watching the coverage out of Jonesboro earlier. The entire team had to take cover. The rotation ended up passing north of them. Shortly after they came back to the studio they were in the heart of the hail core. The sound was deafening. You could barely hear the meteorologist of the sound of the hail hitting the building.
