Evidence / storm surfaces
How Green Forest 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 signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 6, 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 6, 2026 sits in Green Forest's hail record.
This was Green Forest's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Mar 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Green Forest at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Green Forest: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Omaha (11 miles east, up to 1"); Huntsville (22 miles southwest, up to 0"); Cassville (26 miles northwest, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Green Forest for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Green Forest roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
