Evidence / storm surfaces
How Green Forest 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 4, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 4, 2026 sits in Green Forest's hail record.
This was Green Forest's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 7th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Green Forest at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Green Forest: the same system put hail over 303 other tracked cities, 25 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Berryville (11 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Reeds Spring (14 miles north, up to 0"); Lampe (15 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Green Forest 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
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 Green Forest. 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 Green Forest 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$528K
Potential roof exposure — 44 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $9 on top of the $150 plan.
