- GR refers to all hail- All reports of hail must include hailstone size diameter in the Remarks (RMK) section of the METAR/SPECI in increments of 1/4 inch- If no hail size is reported it will be assumed to be small hail- Small hail will result in the issuance of a SPECI - GS is used only when snow pellets are observed
GR, as all precip will be in the conditions. The size will be in the remarks only.
Effective September 13, 2018, GR will represent all sizes of hail, and GS will only represent snow pellets.
