[NLRS] Gigger's List?

[Andrew T. Flowers, K0SM]

Scott,

You can be pretty sure there is significant hail in anything registering 
60dBZ or more in the nexrad data.  Sometimes you can even see a big 
storm casting a shadow on rain behind it.  In extreme cases you'll see a 
"hail spike" if you look closely at the radar image.  This is is 
indicated by a reflection extending slightly beyond the cell that is 
caused by a ground reflection off of the hail shaft.  I've only seen 
that a couple times, and those were devastating hail events.
