A thunderstorm briefly became severe near the foothills west-southwest of Loveland Colorado during the afternoon of 18 August 2003. The CSU-CHILL radar made an RHI scan through the echo core of this storm at 2010:32 UTC. Sweep 3 of this RHI volume intercepted both a nearby light rain area (containing a bright band) as well as the more distant hailstorm. Polarimetric signatures of both the melting layer in the bright band and the hail shaft in the thunderstorm can be seen.
