Two ways to read the storm

How Little Rock saw the hail — from two instruments

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Little Rock, AR on Jul 14, 2026

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Little Rock, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 14, 2026 sits in Little Rock's hail record

This was Little Rock's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Little Rock at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Little Rock: the same system put hail over 130 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Mabelvale (11 miles south, up to 0.5"); Bryant (11 miles south, up to 0.5"); Sheridan (26 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Little Rock's Jul 14, 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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Little Rock. 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Little Rock roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

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 3, 2026.
