Two ways to read the storm

How Gentry 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-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Gentry, AR on Jun 8, 2026

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 8, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gentry, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Gentry's hail record

This was Gentry's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the May 19, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gentry at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gentry: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 6 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Gravette (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Siloam Springs (9 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Maysville (9 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Gentry's Jun 8, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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 Gentry, 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Gentry roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$3.4M

Potential roof exposure — 281 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Other storms in Gentry

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
