Each radar image was taken at the time of (or the closest time to) the largest hail report. If there were multiple reports of the largest size or multiple frames within the timespan of the largest reports, then the most impressive image was used (i.e., the largest TBSS or highest dBZ). An exception was made for cases that produced sig hail for more than 1-hour, where two images were shown to illustrate the evolution of the storm (Cases 4, 84, 96, 117, 128, & 149). The lowest elevation angle was used for most scans, but a few cases were too close to the radar and either had missing pixels due to beam blockage or generally were less visible at the lowest scan. In these cases, the highest elevation angle used was ~1.30° (3rd elevation angle), to preserve resolution (except for case 9. Too many mountains around the Burlington radar). Radar imagery was framed in such a way that all reports and times are visible. Cases 4, 8, 82, 83, 92, 96, 119, & 138 required an additional zoomed-in image to show all report times. Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) listed include all hail reports, not just the locations of the sig reports. *Closest radar site had missing or insufficient imagery, so the next nearest site was used for imagery, but the case was still named after the radar site that would have been used (this just helps with my organizational sanity). - To view the full-resolution image, right-click -> open image in new tab -> then edit the URL to remove "-1200x599" before the ".png" (or whatever resolution it says). This forces the website to actually display the full-resolution image instead of the thumbnail version.
