Freak Hail Storm Slams Bay Area. Chief Meteorologist Jeff Ranieri With Radar & Dramatic Video.

Cold air near the surface and heavy rain was the perfect combination for a hail storm that covered all lanes of I-280. The pea size hail even accumulated up to a reported 2 inches sending drivers sliding. This was one of 3 areas to see the slick & icy roads with our latest winter blast.
