How Mobile saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 19, 2026 · Mobile, 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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.

The storm in context
Where Aug 19, 2026 sits in Mobile's hail record.
This was Mobile's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Aug 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mobile at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mobile: the same system put hail over 496 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Creola (23 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Citronelle (28 miles north, up to 0.5"); Lucedale (30 miles northwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Mobile 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Brookley Field Asos — beyond Mobile itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Mobile 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
5,252 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$63M
Potential roof exposure — 5,252 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 5,252 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 27, 2026.
