Evidence / storm surfaces
How Monticello 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 signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
Where Mar 7, 2026 sits in Monticello's hail record.
This was Monticello's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 9th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Monticello at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Monticello: the same system put hail over 254 other tracked cities, 24 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Dumas (7 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Wilmar (18 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Montrose (25 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Monticello 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 Monticello 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Monticello roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
