How Malvern 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.
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 7, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Mar 7, 2026 sits in Malvern's hail record
This was Malvern's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 8th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Malvern at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Malvern: the same system put hail over 254 other tracked cities, 24 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Amity (29 miles west, up to 0.5"); Murfreesboro (52 miles west, up to 1"); Lonoke (62 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Malvern's Mar 7, 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.
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Malvern. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
What 0.75" hail means for Malvern 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.
