Evidence / storm surfaces

How Greenville saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 4, 2026 · Greenville, AL

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 4, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Greenville, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Greenville's hail record.

This was Greenville's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Greenville at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Greenville: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 15 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Dozier (29 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Repton (40 miles southwest, up to 0"); Faunsdale (65 miles northwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Greenville storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Greenville. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Greenville roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 Aug 25, 2026.
