Evidence / storm surfaces
How Albertville saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 21, 2026 · Albertville, AL
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Map image is still rendering for this surface.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
1.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Albertville, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 21, 2026 sits in Albertville's hail record.
This was Albertville's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the Aug 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Albertville at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Albertville roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 22, 2026.
