Evidence / storm surfaces
How Amity saw the hail — from two instruments
Apr 25, 2026 · Amity, AR
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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 Apr 25, 2026 sits in Amity's hail record.
This was Amity's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Apr 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Amity at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Amity: the same system put hail over 392 other tracked cities, 58 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Bonnerdale (9 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Caddo Gap (13 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Murfreesboro (13 miles southwest, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Amity 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.

Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Amity roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 13, 2026.
