4-9-11 Local - Cheyenne, WY Small Hail

Skinner informed me that there was about 500 j of cape after 1pm today and to look for some convection. I was a little doubtful about anything that interesting due to the low energy, but the LI and helicity values did seem interesting. I left the house after a long day of developing convection over the hills as one cell was moving towards Cheyenne from the southwest. I went to a high spot I know and then got hit by blueberry sized hail, and saw some interesting convection indeed. Not bad for a chase at home literally.
