Evidence / storm surfaces
How Boligee saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 28, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 28, 2026 sits in Boligee's hail record.
This was Boligee's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 7th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Boligee at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Boligee: the same system put hail over 724 other tracked cities, 42 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Akron (12 miles east, up to 0.75"); Emelle (19 miles west, up to 1"); Scooba (27 miles west, up to 1").

Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.
For this storm over Boligee, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Boligee roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
