On October 26, 2023, during a thunderstorm passing over the airport, a flight was aborted due to falling hail. The pilot elected to wait 30 minutes before takeoff, and subsequently flew to Runway 35L at an altitude of 20,000 feet, with a heading of 080 degrees. As the aircraft entered the heavy hail, radar indicated a heavy precipitation ahead. A right turn was requested, and the pilot was assigned a heading of 080 degrees. A right windshield shatter resulted in glass particles entering the first officer?s eyes, causing an immediate descent and landing. The incident was attributed to an inaccurate weather assessment and the presence of heavy hail.On October 26, 2023, during a thunderstorm passing over the airport, a flight was aborted due to falling hail.
