Evidence / storm surfaces
How Grove Hill saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jul 12, 2026 sits in Grove Hill's hail record.
This was Grove Hill's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Grove Hill at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Grove Hill: the same system put hail over 367 other tracked cities, 20 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Thomasville (15 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Silas (29 miles west, up to 1"); Frankville (29 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Grove Hill. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Grove Hill 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.
