Hail on Huntington Beach

Just yesterday morning, over an inch of “white stuff” fell on California’s Huntington Beach. While what fell made the beach look like a winter wonderland, it was over an inch of hail – not snow – from a fast-moving storm that covered the sand. The unusual sight began to trend across the country on social media.

NWS Los Angeles captured a time lapse of the thunderstorm that resulted in hail over “Surf City”. The webcam loop can be seen below:
